Film Critique
The movie, The Laramie Project, is based on the play originally preformed by the Tectonic Theatre Company - so it is not a conventional movie. The Laramie Project is basically a re-enacted documentary. The movie is done like this because the play is a series of monologues and short dialogues taken from the interviews - it does not flow from scene to scene but instead is presented in "moments" that are not in chronological order and are mixed together to give the play an overall feel. The movie does the same thing. So you are not going to get a story with a plot. You're going to get a slice of life.
It's a good movie, thought provoking and emotional and certainly worth watching again. One of the most powerful
