POSITIVES…
For a movie that has the word “selfie” in it's title, it seems only appropriate that the opening involves duck faces and about waiting hours for the latest iPhone.
Footage of protests outside a Trump rally, captures the discourse and division in the USA perfectly, and that carries on throughout the film.
There were some incredible imagery that fits very well with the narrative.
Has a great story structure that moves things along via the months, different cities, and states. Once it hits March in New York, you know what direction this film is going.
Loved the questions asked by the interviewer and by this documentary.
Several of the one liner commentaries and answers were prophetic, insightful, and powerful.
I liked how this documentary succinctly focuses on the many different aspects, realities, and points of views about America today.
NEGATIVES…
While the tone of this documentary attempts to show both sides, it clearly leans towards one side more, and that will rub some people the wrong way.
It's easy to complain that this film does not cover everything it should, but I suppose that can't be helped.
At times it feels like it spends too long on a subject, and sometimes it feels like it doesn't spend enough time on another.
