Jason Biggs and Nile Bullock in The Subject (2020)

A successful documentary filmmaker is haunted by his last film, which captured the murder of one of his subjects, an African American teenager in Harlem. Struggling with lingering feelings of guilt while trying to focus on a new project, he becomes increasingly frustrated with a stranger who is videotaping his every move. A timely film that not only explores the relationship between an artist and their subject but also the uncomfortable reality of race and class among those who seek to be aware when they are confronted with their own privilege. Expertly written and directed, with powerhouse performances from Jason Biggs and Aunjanue Ellis. This is an absolute must-see movie.

Do You Still Look At Me As Art???

I found this movie compelling. It was a mix of racism, greed, selfishness, and a lot of what is wrong with society in the US today. There really is a lot going on in this movie. Of course it won't be for everyone. It's definitely not for non thinkers who are more likely to appreciate the Marvel Comics movies.

Some really good performances here all around. 7/10.
