Martin L An extra ordinary masterpiece. This documentary short hit hard, intentionally. Without any words the team showed us the true raw nature of the world we live in, and in a new way. Thank you for making this documentary. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Mason M I saw this in the Oscar nominated short documentaries at my local theater, and I'm not usually big on documentaries, but this film was just amazing. I've almost never felt suspense during a documentary film and this had me on the edge of my seat. What made this film was entirely in the phenomenal editing. The split screens showing the many angles on the situation, the often overwhelming sound design, how it shows all the different perspectives and opinions on the situation. This was simply a great film and I hope it wins the Oscar. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review matthias s This one hit hard. *Incident* is raw, unfiltered, and impossible to look away from. The way it pieces together security, dashcam, and bodycam footage is haunting—no narration, no frills, just the brutal truth unfolding in real-time. Every minute drained my hope in the system a little more. It’s frustrating, infuriating, and necessary. Bill Morrison doesn’t just show what happened; he forces you to *feel* it. This isn’t just a short film—it’s a gut punch, a warning, a demand for accountability. Essential viewing. It deserved to be seen, and I’m glad it was. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Jonathan K Ugh, I kind of regret watching this, to be honest. I really didn’t need a whole montage of a police shooting to understand the sheer horror of it. This one’s tough to assign a rating to. On one hand, sure, it's important to expose the reality of police brutality, killings, and to fight for accountability and reform. But I’m not sure this is way to do it -- especially given that the likely audience of this (the people who will actually watch it) probably already know about the horrors. We’ve seen the footage on social media for years now. Watching this felt like an assault on my nervous system. It was just... too much. It felt more voyeuristic than anything. And the filmmaker doesn't offer much more than the gruesome spectacle itself. Like slowing down to rubberneck a fatal car crash, but not getting out to help. We get a detailed recounting of the events, sure, and yes, that’s important for awareness. But honestly, that’s all it did. It showed the same immature, posturing, fear-driven, and insecurity-based policing that’s been an issue for years. These officers are inexperienced with conflict and undertrained for high-stress moments. Their presence is often unnecessary in the roles they exist in, which most people who care about this issue probably already know. So, if you already get that this stuff happens, watching this isn’t going to help you. If you're like me, it might just leave you feeling dirty. It felt like the worst parts of social media -- voyeurism, shock value, and this weird, evil, heightened emotional sense that leaves you completely drained.
