Ridiculously Depressing
5 December 2023
Before i start this review, i have to state that i have seen Boy A, a movie that's briefly based on this case. Camera work is incredible, the acting is incredible. It made me feel anxious, depressed, that does not happen often with movies. I have only one negative and that's they keep shifting from interviews to what happened. I think it would of been more powerful if we have a first lenght of the event, and then jump into the interviews. But then again, that wouldn't make sense cuz then we'd see everything what occured, meaning them blaming each other wouldn't be as impactful.

It's just really depressing seeing young people 19 and under do such disgusting acts. It makes it much more depressing knowing that somebody this young would commit such disgusting act. I kinda wish we had a bit more of a plot, not just the interview footage. If it was made a into a full lenght movie with a plot, like Grave of the Fireflies, it would probably rip me apart. Never the less, still pretty good.
