Summary
Some teens experience police brutality.
This is one of the most whiney films I have ever watched, I understand that these characters go through a really awful experience yet the film doesn’t have anything new to say about this problem in American society, nor does it want to unpack the emotional toll of it, but rather than whine and appear virtuous whilst doing the bare minimum.
There was a person somewhere behind the scenes being like oh my film is needed it’s necessary it is doing something to change the world, but none of those things are true. This is as surface level as it gets, more over the message of the film is just asinine, police brutality is wrong, did anyone not already know that.
This film feels like it was made as the creatives thought audiences were dumb and needed to be told how to think, but once again everyone already knew what this film had to say.
Amandla Stenberg is also wooden as hell.
Overall, a shallow insipid mess that feels the need to lecture yet has nothing new to say.
1/5
Pros.
It had one good song in its soundtrack
Cons.
It is puddle deep
Stenberg is awful
It is badly paced
It feels like its constantly preaching
