I had heard from a friend that this was good. I didn’t know quite
enough about it or I would have refused to go, I think. Gus Van Sant
stays relentlessly on the surface of things, providing us with an
essentially insight-free depiction of Columbine. Thanks, but my
imagination had already filled in all those details. I’d prefer a
deeper work. My first reaction to this movie was anger, I was tempted
to review it with the single word “exploitive”.
