Review of Fruitvale Station (2013) by Jerry K — 21 Feb 2014
"Fruitvale Station" is a remarkable film. Sandwiched betrween actual footage of a random shooting of a 22 year old on New Year's Day in 2009 and the annual memorial at the site of the shooting is the story of the young man who was killed by a BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) policeman in Oakland, CA.
Michael B. Jordan's performance is exceptional as is the nuanced portrayal by Academy Award winning actress Octavia Spencer. Director Ryan Coogler's vision is clear and powerful. Cinematography is excellent.
In all, this film raises more questions than it answers. It is well worth your time! Bravo to all!
