This documentary might’ve been better with another few years’ worth of reporting and perspective. Read full review

What feels important in Parkland is less about pushing any kind of political agenda or viewpoint than about simply listening, and bearing witness. Read full review

Taguchi and Lefferman approach it all less like journalists or vérité documentarians than friendly guests who want to be respectful yet connect to something deeper about pain, mourning and forward movement. Read full review

The film succeeds as an astutely constructed, sensitive piece of journalism that becomes a moving account of dealing with grief and irreparable loss. Read full review
