Casting JonBenet (2017)

Casting JonBenet: Directed by Kitty Green. With Hannah Cagwin, Aeona Cruz, Liv Bagley, Shylee Sagle. In the months following the unsolved murder of 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey, responses were elicited from her Colorado hometown community, creating a work of art from the collective memories and mythologies the crime inspired.

“Casting JonBenet is, obviously, about the infamous JonBenet Ramsey case that captured the disturbed attention of America in the 90s. However, itu0026#39;s also a documentary about documentaries, recognizing and embracing the fact that editorializing is impossible to sidestep when you have humans behind the scenes. An art house doc that often gets a little too self-reflective for its own good, itu0026#39;s still a uniquely disturbing and absurdly funny way of depicting the truth vs. social consciousness.”
