No Idea What I Just Saw

[nthst-90377 · 5/10 · 15 December 2020]

I came to IMDB to see if someone had an explanation for this movie, but no such luck. Apparently, everybody thought it was great. I was wondering throughout if this was a faith-based flick as there were various references throughout extolling the virtues of religion, ie Christianity. I'm now wondering if the positive reviews are primarily due to the religious aspect. The movie itself is a poor man's version of Crash which tries to weave various story threads together. However, these threads are so loosely woven as to be mainly individual threads and nonsensical. The ending was beyond laughable with no rhyme or reason other than exploring the limits of arbitrariness. The writer and director apparently missed the class where resolution of a story is explained. This movie resolves nothing after the buildup which was a tour de force of manipulation and a hodge-podge of events taken from current headlines.

Grim, gritty crime drama

[austin-andrews · 4/10 · 24 December 2019]

A sprawling, surprisingly epic blue collar crime drama that rarely belies its low budget. Big themes handled with a mix of nuance and didacticism, but the different story threads weave together in surprising, fresh ways that manage to not feel contrived. A few standout performances and bold directorial choices lift this above its weight class. Worth a rental.

Cinematically Beautiful. Real and Raw Stories

[JesseDeanNorsworthy · 9/10 · 24 December 2019]

This film is a unbiased look into three completely different stories and people's lives in the U. S.

The topics that are highlighted in this film couldn't be any more relevant. It leaves you asking questions and wanting more.

Cinematically stunning, the music and scoring draws you in even further.

emotionally moving, worth seeing, worth discussing

[tarnia_c · 10/10 · 20 December 2019]

Suspenseful, emotionally moving plot with brilliant direction and cast this independent film is an amazing provoking movie, rich in plot and direction. It gave me chills on how my day to day effects those around me, we need to be more aware of who we pass and move by, a simple exchange could change the outcome and effect of someone else's life - laws of degrees of separation are so close. No wonder we have been told to keep an eye on this cast - from the up and coming Marc Senior to best emerging performer Steven Roberts let alone NBC Melissa Roxburgh among others that contributed to this evolving thought provoking conversation worthy film. Including the music of Bilal and even Ziggy Marley. I look forward to more from this group of talented writers, directors and actors. Thank you for letting yourselves experience the layers of emotion - how this must have affected your outlook on your own lives portraying such complexity! left me shocked and breathless in an awesome way.

Perspective!

[sdvd-90873 · 9/10 · 29 December 2019]

A very interesting mix of characters going through daily struggles. Opens your eyes to how your attitude in life complicates simple situations. This is a movie you will think about days & weeks after watching it. Nice work!

Amazing. Raw, real and thought provoking.

I didnt know what to expect from this movie but wow was I surprised. Beautifully filmed and accompanied by an equally beautiful soundtrack. Finally a film that feels like real life and in a world that we all actually live in. The characters were bang on and I felt like anyone of us could have come across these characters portrayed at some point in our lives. I really got into this film and it filled me with all kinds of different emotions depending on each character. Always a sure sign of a great film!

A great film.

Due to the fact religion is a topic of conversation in this film, brilliantly handled, some may miss the point all together and be offended by it. This film is terrific from beginning to end. The sound track exceptional. A must see!

[willietwosix · 9/10 · 3 February 2022]

I am a mixed race kid from Canada and I was raised in a small community. Growing up for me was challenging at times, so this film really speaks to me and makes me feel stronger about who I am and where I came from.

I highly recommend this movie.

One of the best movies I've seen in years

[radisic-2 · 10/10 · 19 December 2019]

Regardless of your faith this movie will move you. It is very suspenseful from begging to end. I had no idea what was coming next and the way the religious angle was handled is absolutely breath taking. The music in this film will give you goosebumps with an incredible performance by Bilal. I recommend this film to everyone. A must see.
