Audience Member Can't support a short that glorifies dead criminals. NOPE, won't do it. George Floyd was not just going to a grocery store. He was actually at a convenience store and the clerk called the cops on him for trying to pay with a counterfeit bill. George was also a severe drug addict with mental issues. He should have just stayed in the stinking car and he would have been fine. Bu no, he decided to have a paranoia episode. All this criminal had to do was comply, because he indeed was a criminal, with a drug problem. And now people glorify him as a hero? Get out of here with that crap. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Hellz P This film is simple and to the point. The statement it poses is that whenever it comes to an altercation with the police, no matter what you say or do, your life is in the hands of whomever is behind that badge. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Bill W I thought it was great. It sure does stir up emotions in people reading all the bad reviews. Just because you didn't like the ending doesn't mean it's a bad film Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Natalie M Slow in the first part but then about 25mins in I go "wow this is great they are all getting along we can get out of this mess, with a nice little allegory about how things are but then if we put things aside and talk to resolve the issue we can sort it out and have a dialogue" … then they take a dump on it ruining it for me. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Eddie M Powerful but unresolved in the end which I guess is the point Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Keegan Stolp O This short film played to the strengths of a short film, filling every moment with context. The film tells a story of the systemic oppression of a group of people by using cyclic agony of a single person as an emotional anchor-point, borrowing elements of absurdism popularly referred to in the 1993 Groundhog Day. The film did well as a short film to get a message across without allowing the audience an opportunity to lose focus of the central message of the film, to "miss the forest for the trees" so to speak. The film appears to tackle the topic of an oppressed people, who are told that they are at fault for their own oppression, and that if they change their attitudes, then their lives will improve, despite overwhelming evidence suggesting the contrary. The film attempts to disillusion the audience, to tell a story for a people who are not given an opportunity to tell it themselves, and from where I stand, it is effective in doing so, but only if the watcher is willing to listen.
