Came across this movie last night and started watching out of curiosity and loved it! Very realistic feel due to the handheld camera style juxtaposed with super high quality news scenes. Loved the writing and related to the main character A LOT. Excellent commentary on what is happening politically right now. Could have used some more excitement but still holds your attention with a nice surprise (and not so surprising) ending.
An honest view on flaws and blindness of people, influenced by trends and what they've been told without even processing the information. The story is there, the cast was great, and what i loved about this movie is it's original music, written and produced by the director. The only suggestion i could give to the director as a viewer - movie was a little bit too long, some scenes were repetitive and to cut it for about 15 min would be perfect. Otherwise, well done James, and I wish you success on this one and future projects.
This movie shows what can happen when you stand up for the truth and your point of view -- the good and the bad results. You become ostracized and demonized for pointing out what's wrong with things because no one wants to hear it. They'd rather stay deluded and comfortable in their oppression. This is why evil dominates society.
Kudos to making a movie with the guts to tell the truth.
Also, just because you don't like a movie, doesn't mean everyone else who did like it is 'fake.' Lol at the ignorance of a statement like that.

So glad I found this movie. The writing is amazing! So many important issues discussed. How many people even bother to think about these issues today, let alone put them in a film. Kudos for that! The only thing I didn't like was how things turned out in the end. Although I guess they were going for the realistic angle of that's what would happen. Anyways, thumbs up!
Never saw a film quite like this before. Favorite part was the writing. The lead character goes off about everything in a super deep way. Gotta watch again just to catch everything.
