just so-so

In fact, the content of the documentary part does not add much points, but the form does provide a sense of distance, which can better isolate the events and characters. But the content of the interview is really shallow. The plot part is also... OK. Relying on a few interview quotes to save the change of characters in the progress of the plot. The most impressive one is the bird Spencer saw on the road? The form is still very interesting, and it's just up to the mark. However, the balance between objective judgment and subjective empathy still does not exist. Without conflict, there is just harmony.

    The mood and details are pretty good, but they are too preachy @festival grand cinema

    D+/ Although admitting that the narrative process is interesting, the whole is still too typological. The presentation of the character's psychological situation and other details are very lacking, only relying on the stimulation of the plot advancement, the textual supplement of the documentary, and the in-place but stylized performance, the middle and later stages are becoming more and more procrastinated. In the end, it is more like an issue of American Youth Rule of Law Online, lacking the emotional complexity and social depth expected in the creation-in the final analysis, it is a Hollywood-style mediocre collection from the form to the content.

American Animals quotes

  • Warren Lipka: Man, I don't want you waking up, ten years from now wondering what could've happened. And who you could've been.

  • The Real Spencer Reinhard: To have this, this need to know what is on the other side of that line, and realizing the only way to actually do that is to cross it, there's never a point in your life after that where you haven't already crossed that line. Um... you know, it's... it was... It was definitely a terrifying thing.
