I had a lump in my throat and a rock in my gut the entire film. Not something I’ll soon forget but difficult to rewatch.
A solemn and respectfully told story of a real tragedy focusing on its victims and survivors.
Powerful and haunting in its simplicity, with lots to say about hatred and grief.
Une réalisation au service de ce qu'elle montre. On en ressort pas idem.
Simply incredible, an absolutely gut wrenching story contrasted with some of the most beautiful cinematography you’ll ever see
The film’s greatest achievement is inspiring hope and empowerment from a story so wrought with destruction and hatred. 7.5/10
A deep movie not for everyone but for me, it was amazing
An unbiased portrayal of this tragedy creates a beautifully tense and heartbreaking film. Great intro to Villeneuve’s career.
Zero Day>Elephant>Polytechnique>22 July More a factual telling of events than a movie, there are better mass shooting films. Still good tho
Disturbing, quiet, and moving. Respects the victims in quiet observation of their actions and an unglorified portrayal of violence.
