A Gray State (2017)
7/10
A tragic but fascinating documentary.

I watched this documentary while under the weather. It's at once compelling because the man it talks about is so driven and compelled to make a movie but spirals into a desperately sad situation. I would recommend watching this documentary as there are several points where you can see how the internet and conspiracy theories can play into the actions and beliefs of an unwell person. I found the ending, which involves a prolonged shot of a crime scene a touch insensitive but this also served a purpose. The point being in my opinion that a grand act such as a murder suicide really doesn't solve anything. Life continues and it's exponentially worse for the people who are left to pick up the pieces.

That said I feel this film tell the very difficult story of a man who felt he had a story to tell and ended up in the very darkest of situations.
