Starts poorly, paints broadly, yet somehow yields a stifling indictment of modern morality, if looked at as a drama -- utterly fails as dark comedy.

‪Balanced, intriguing doc of Oakland PD's fight to reverse decades mistrust and misconduct, yet seeming institutionally incapable of doing so. Unevenly paced but dispiriting look at a divided country with no remedy in sight.

Initially interesting but increasingly meandering doc-xperiment feels ickier and less ethical as it wears on. What's more, its attack on assumed audience bloodlust is aimed in a way as to fundamentally misunderstand art's role in helping us make some semblance of sense of the senseless.

Skilfully made, but atrophied as it went. Wanted more insight. Ultimately felt like a lot about a little, echoing other (better) movies on similar terrain (materialism, teen ennui, toxic consumerism, etc).
