      Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat 365 Days steadfastly avoids addressing the underlying issue, to the degree that it makes you wonder if the filmmakers even know what the real problem is. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 12, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member I was disappointed and disturbed by this movie. I expected an intelligent, balanced documentary about the aftermath of the Sandusky scandal upon a community. Instead, it seems the film's primary agenda was to chronicle the perseverance of the Nittany Lions In the wake of the NCAA sanctions, and the outrage surrounding Joe Paterno's firing. Although Proulx and Porterfield have professed sensitivity to the film's effect upon the victims, its lack of focus suggests insensitivity. More attention was given to footage of football plays and to Mauti's injury, than to the suffering of boys and young men whose lives were damaged by Sandusky's abuse. This film was not meant to be a documentary about the victims. However, no sensitive account of this tragic story should give the impression that in this community the victims' suffering is secondary to the pain of Paterno's tarnished legacy, and fans diminished hopes for a winning season. Could the near-invisibility of the victims' experiences in this film reflect a culture that looks away from the reality and prevalence of child abuse because it makes us uncomfortable? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A beautifully shot, thought provoking film. Stays with you long after it's over. Makes you want to watch it again.
