8:46

This is a collection of the individual stories of a small group of people from different walks of life, who were directly involved in the events of 9/11. There is tragedy, and there is heroism, but this film it is really about the emotional impact of this event because we get to see the people who were in the towers but also their friends and loved ones who had to watch the horror unfold from a distance.

846 real respect, NYC #911...

Can't believe its 11 years, I remember like yesterday and 846 brought back many memories for me and my fam.

Wow, what an indie! I really liked the acting, the drama, the romance. You even forget you're watching a 9/11 film, which is a sad surprise back to reality when the real news footage hits. I respect the filmmakers for really getting to the family aspect, which was what touched me the most. I wouldn't watch with kids too young, necessarily, cause some of the drama is heavy and real, but definitely on a date or with my parents or co-workers. This was a real wakeup call to the fact that it's 11 years later, but something that happened in a turning point in our lives. And I applaud this film for bringing it back to the basics of people in their day to day. Great movie.

I saw this film at the GI Film Festival in May, and was thoroughly impressed with this first-time filmmaker's skill. This was a very moving .tribute that centers around the people affected, and there seems to be a character that everyone can relate to. It certainly moved everyone in the audience that day - there was not a dry eye in the house. It really brings the audience in and makes you feel a part of that day, giving a very different perspective than other 9/11 films I've seen. During the Q & A it was mentioned that there were real 9/11 survivors and 1st responders in the cast, which definitely added to the realism and emotion to the film. When I heard what a tiny budget this film was made with, I was even more impressed...it looks like a film made for much more. It was shot and directed beautifully, with some very strong performances. I look forward to seeing more from this young filmmaker.

To capture a moment such as 9/11 on screen and expect to strike the same raw chord as that day did is a hell of a task for a filmmaker. No one has done it, and I don't think anyone will ever capture that day in a way that makes it any easier or harder for Americans to watch. 8:46 treads a fine line between blasphemous and barely enjoyable. As the film documents some of the lives 9/11 touched and ruined, it never strikes any real emotion because every five minutes we're meeting a new character. This makes it extremely hard for the audience to emotionally invest in these characters. If it was only a handful of characters being documented on that horrible day then it may have been somewhat watchable. The characters that are depicted are poorly directed and sloppily written. For a film with a 55 minute runtime, this is just too ambitious of a film project. The acting makes the film laughable at times, which makes it really hard to watch because this is such a serious unnerving subject to depict on screen and that requires actors that don't stumble over their lines and a director that doesn't have a clue what they're doing.

Overall, this film is a well made student film at best. It's a nice netflix movie for a day with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to watch but other than that, skip it.
