Trailer Synopsis Cast

From directors Nick Doob and Shari Cookson, "Requiem for the Dead" is made entirely from found footage, including social media posts, 9-1-1 calls, news stories and police files. The film tells the stories of those who have been killed by gunfire, whether from accidental violence, random shootings, family disputes or suicide. Hear those stories of those who have died, which is only a fraction of the 32,000 people killed in America each year, 88 per day, from gun violence.

Nuts!

The true story of John Romulus Brinkley, a small-town Kansas doctor who discovers in 1917 that he can cure impotence by transplanting goat testicles into men. And that’s just the tipping point in this stranger-than-fiction tale. With the balls of a P.T. Barnum, the gonads of goats, and the wishful dreams of flaccid men, Brinkley amassed a fortune, was almost elected Governor of Kansas, invented junk mail and the infomercial, and built the world’s most powerful radio station. By the time all of the twists and turns of Brinkley’s story are revealed, Nuts! certainly earns its title.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A burning, exciting topic in a completely superficial documentary, based on genuine footage from TV, police archives and social media only. Viewers have no chance to go deep into any of the stories when someone was shot again in the US. All we can see is a bunch of claptrap footage from the once-happy-past (yes, babies are so innocent and cute) and the predictable present: another innocent person was gunned down. And another one. And another one. Perhaps filmmakers are tired to explain over and over again how crazy is weapon regulation in the US - but come on men, if you are tired of the topic, don't shoot a movie about it. This is tabloid: melodramatic but totally empty.
