Elephant

"4/10 Truly boring. The vast majority of the movie jumps between different student's perspectives, all running concurrently. However, it doesn't really seem like there was a reason to do this. Sure maybe it was just to show normal events of a school day but you don't form any real attachments to the characters or learn anything useful. When the actual crime begins it too seems pointless but of course this is very realistic. The crime wasn't horribly graphic or scary as some more recent shows and movies have depicted. Overall? It's ok to skip this one."

"I'm not saying it's bad, it's just slow paced and I found a hard time finding it interesting: unique concept tho "

"Nothing short of one of my favorite movies ever… the cinematic talent of this is incredible. Not to mention, the way the film is laid out, showing the perspective of multiple people and their lives, before and after an event like this. It shows they’re more than victims, but people. People with lives and beating hearts."

"Love this movie. Gus van sant shows the many different perspectives of victims of school shootings. It creates a diverse understanding of how everyone is impacted and the many things however big or small that can prevent or lead to an event like this "
