    Trivia: shot in black and white in order to avoid the presence of blood on screen

    The work of rising director. An interesting, cold set, but the characters lack depth and the film therefore fails to engage.
  • cultfilmlikerFebruary 28, 2025
    A lot of patience required for a 77 minute film about an infamous mass shooting. The drawn out shots really needed something more dense going on to justify their length. Denis is very hit or miss for me. Not trying to downplay the important themes and material in the film
