“I hate to criticize a documentary that is about a school shooting – but this should have been far better.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI donu0026#39;t deny that intense emotions were involved, but at the risk of sounding politically incorrect this drifted at times into self-indulgent sentimentalism.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCertain scenes were repetitive. This film should have encompassed more than the three or four survivors and parents of victims than the film showcased. We learn nothing of those who were physically injured – what about them?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe learn from the father of a victim that the shooter was involved in many other incidents known to the police – this could have been explored more deeply.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe sequences of basketball games were overly long and a distraction.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film needed editing. It should have been far more visceral than it was.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhy didnu0026#39;t the documentarians interview Emma Gonzalez who gave such an impassioned speech in Washington DC??u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI agree with one of the main points of the film. NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PURCHASE AN AUTOMATIC WEAPON.”
