kevin c The director adopted the right approach in not sensationalising the cinema atrocity. It's just after 5-minutes you get it that the characters collectively mesh into a portrait of a dislocated society. You then have to sit through 80-minutes of skateboarding, selfies and PS4 violent games.Gus Van Sant's superb Elephant this is not.

lyndalu-45740 Is this film a joke? The camera shows random people doing the most boring tasks like sitting on a couch in silence, and that goes on for several minutes then cuts to someone else doing absolutely nothing. I don't even know what this is supposed to be about. It's as if you give a video camera to the most boring person in the world and ask them to film other boring people doing boring things.

shmarie If this wasn't based loosely on the real tragedy in Aurora, CO then it would just be a complete waste of time and film. They went above and beyond trying to be "artsy" and "ambiguous" and in doing so, they decided to substitute their version of "mystery" with any meaningful dialogue and sense of intrigue. You do not get to relate to ANY one of the characters at all because there is 0% character development. The one merit it had was that, if you stand the banality of the film and the "characters," you really do not know definitively who the shooter is (although I had a pretty good idea).

sandra everhart How this movie got a Metascore of 61 is beyond my comprehension. I am all for creative cinematography and movies representing today's culture but this movie can be described in 2 words. IT SUCKS. Boring and pointless. I got no insight into the lives of the victims or the killer. Who were the victims?? Who was the killer?? I was hoping for a look into what was a horrific event but all I got was 90 minutes of boredom.
