Dark Night

I wish I could get back the 17 minutes that I wasted trying to watch this "film". I foolishly thought that this would have interviews with survivors of the Aurora massacre, maybe some insight, news coverage, maybe parts of the trial. This isn't a documentary, this isn't art, its an embarrassment. And what was the purpose of that god awful singing, if you would even call it that? I'd rather be scooping poop out of a litter box for 17 minutes while my dog barks at the possum under the house.

This is probably one of the top 5 worst films I have ever seen. Do not waste your time it will be an hour and a half you will never get back. Only gave one star as I couldn't give none.

I mean I guess this is what this movie was about? It really had ZERO momentum and every character lived in a sound proof room with almost zero dialogue to explain who they are, what they're doing, or anything. This is the quietest, least driven and most boring movie I've ever attempted to get through. And that's what the experience is; you TRY to get through it. It takes an interesting subject matter: a mass shooting, it tries to tie it in with a real event: the Aurora, Colorado Dark Knight Rises theater shooting, it changes the location for seemingly NO REASON, it gives us next to no information about any character the camera chooses to focus on and then ends without resolution, without drama, without consequence, without meaning. This movie was and is pointless. I wish I could say it was neither warm or cold, but it's not even lukewarm, worthy to be spewed from the mouth, its air in the nostrils that comes out with a derisive snort, or wind that passes through indifferent ass-cheeks. This is not a movie. This isn't even close to being reality. It is nothing. It offers nothing, and it takes enormous amounts of patience and time from anyone who tries to be entertained by it. As someone who has worked at a movie theater that had a shooting take place within it, nothing rings of truth, or hyperbole, but instead is the worst parts of independent film into one long, boring ASMR slog, that punishes anyone foolish enough to give it a chance. DO NOT GIVE THIS MOVIE A CHANCE. I too read IMDb reviews and pushed forward figuring it couldn't possibly be that bad. It's not. It's worse. DO NOT GIVE THIS MOVIE A CHANCE. If your looking for anything remotely deep, or truthful, or artistic you'd have better luck watching a Transformers movie than this. This is not entertainment or Intellectual nourishment. It is masturbatory in the dullest, blandest, quietest, most soul-sucking way possible. AVOID AT ALL COST.

This movie sucks cheese it's really bad don't watch it

Worst movie ever!! Lame!! Barely any talking. Sucked!

Want to see everything that is wrong with modern art house? Watch Dark Night then. Don't get me wrong there is plenty of modern art house I enjoy. But there are things that give it a bad rap. If you're interested in seeing what they are over the course of this movies run time then give it a go. I'm just gonna lay out the issues with this movie. Boring, paper characters, long scenes of meaningless drivel, lack of plot, lack of beginning middle and end, lack of really anything that makes for a good movie. A bad Harmony Korine knockoff, and if you're making movies that knock off a director with some real miss fires in there catalog you should probably find another profession. So dull so meaningless so bad Dark Night falls flat everywhere.Don't watch this instead watch Van Sant's Elephant or Solondz's Storytelling as an example of how to pull of a film in this genre properly. 2/10. Horrible.

Is this film a joke? The camera shows random people doing the most boring tasks like sitting on a couch in silence, and that goes on for several minutes then cuts to someone else doing absolutely nothing. I don't even know what this is supposed to be about. It's as if you give a video camera to the most boring person in the world and ask them to film other boring people doing boring things.

Tim Sutton's DARK NiGHT (USA) took the exact opposite approach as Quentin Tarantino & Alejandro González Iñárritu towards exploring his horrific subject matter… by NOT exploiting it. Loosely based on the Aurora, Colorado massacre in 2012, in which a gunman killed 12 and wounded 70 moviegoers attending a screening of Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNiGHT RiSES, this haunting, slice-of-life exploration of the random events that led the townsfolk to the movie theater is paced like Claire Denis' Friday NiGHT (2002) and Gus Van Sant's ELEPHANT (2003). In fact, the cinematographer Helene Louvart, who shot Wim Wenders' PiNA (2011) and Agnes Varda's THE BEACHES OF AGNES (2008), was the perfect fit for the director's intense visual style. Combined with MEMPHiS (2013) and Pavilion (2011), Tim Sutton is an American filmmaker who is attempting movies that not only are beautiful to look at, but melodic to experience, no matter what the subject may be.
