Not For Me

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2011)

Perhaps it was the black and white, or the content, but this film was just not for me. I struggled to stay awake during the film,( though that might have been due to a long week and too much to do). I could not relate to it in any way, and, in my opinion, films should be relatable. In addition, it was difficult to watch the violence. The story did not interest me, as most other historical films do. It was meant for an audience that did not include me.
Though the film is made documentary-style, there was no actual footage from the riots shown. This is especially interesting because of how real everything looks.
