I would like to know why some of the members of the community, who were so articulate and vocal about the LAPD and their lack of interest in this case, were not just as vocal towards some of the men we met in their own community, who clearly had associated and collaborated with Lonnie and treated vulnerable women like garbage. I feel the community where Lonnie lived should have taken some of the responsibility too. How can so many women go missing? What does that say about the community?
What does this say about how these "friends" of Lonnie feel about the women in their community?
It's not just police gross incompetence, it's members of a community that appeared to look the other way or ignore what was happening right under their own noses and not just about the murders either.
How can anyone knock this film or say they have seen this type of film before?
It's based on the recollections of Nick Vallelonga and Dr Don Shirley.
If critics say they have seen this type of film before "nothing new" then maybe the film should get even more credit for bringing the lessor known activists to the fore. Less you walked a mile in their shoes. Each new story we hear about is something new. Let's not be so quick to dismiss this film as "nothing new"
This film creeps up on you in terms of how you feel about the characters in the beginning and how you feel about them at the end, which I believe was one of the missions in this film, a reminder to all of us that not everything in this film or in life, is simply black and white.
Whilst the film centers around the two main characters, you should take notice of the others, especially Dr Shirley's butler, fellow band members and take notice of how the film addresses the role of the police.
The writing, directing and acting is outstanding. This is something new, this is another story we have not heard before.
Before this film I had never heard of Dr Shirley nor Vallelonga and now I can't stop reading more about these incredible people, I feel educated.
Deserved to win best picture.
