Review of Casting JonBenet (2017) by Matt G — 17 Jan 2018

The movie is just amazing to watch, the sets they put these people on to audition are really well done and the editing of the auditions is so perfect, the locked off camera keeping the framing identical just works better than it should.

The best shot though is the second last when the movie just shows you every possible theory of how the crime happened in 1 magical shot. I can't even relaly describe it, it's just so perfect for this movie that you can't help but be amazed as it hits you what they're doing.

This is a very different kind of crime documentary, something we've definitely never seen before and the kind I don't know we'll ever see again but really, I hope we never see it again because this film did it so well that I don't think there's another application for this kind of documentary.

Much like Get Out, this documentary is doing something brand new that I've never seen before but this time, I can't see how anyone could copy it which is pretty damn impressive to find a style so specific that no one could/should even try it.
