Elephant
Several ordinary high school students go through their daily routine as two others prepare for something more malevolent. A chilling, detached look at a school shooting inspired by the Columbine massacre.
(5.5)
Watch Date:
A difficult watch. The detached, fly-on-the-wall style is effective but also frustrating at times. It captures the banality of the day before the horror starts, but I found myself wanting a bit more depth to the characters.
