A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Raymond Sierra
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I am glad I stopped it and read the reviews before wasting any more time on this movie that moves at a glacial pace and totally disrespects her life. Very upsetting. I love Samira Wiley, but even she couldn't save this.

This movie was a disjointed mess....The title and brief information given about the movie have nothing to do with the movie....I don't believe that victim's name was even mentioned during the film...I can't believe that this crap was funded...somebody had to be looking at this mess as it was being filmed and edited??? They should not pay the director for this garbage....Furthermore, I seriously doubt that there was one shred of truth to any of this film, with the exception of the opening title and information line....This film should be deleted from the planet....absolutely no redeeming qualities....it doesn't deserve a "one" it deserves a "0".....WOW what a piece of crap!!!!!!!!

I won't repeat all the justifiably outraged comments this film deserves by distorting not only the basic facts of the Genovese murder but also perpetrating misguided fiction. If you decide to make a movie based on any *real* case, at least do basic research. Even before "The Witness" (an amazing film) was released it was well-known that the Times had fluffed the apathy angle to stoke sales.No, what makes Puk Grasten's film irredeemable is it's utter lack of a story or any compelling (strike that --- NON-repellent), even interesting characters. These fantasy "neighbors" are all given stereotypical bad-sitcom dilemmas and we watch them yell, kick, scream, and drag for the longest 85-minute run-time I've endured this year. None of the subplots has any bearing on the crime (you could be watching a really dull Law and Order) and Grasten falls back on primitive symbolism such as the innocent all-seeing nature of the child vs. jaded self-absorbed adulthood. Maybe "37" is what it appears to be --- a glib, inauthentic, attention-seeking morality-play payday. But if "37" *is* a sincere attempt at making a meaningful or engaging film, its dismal failure doesn't make it any less a waste of anyone's time.

Barely references the murder or the things that were shouted by the victim. The directors pointlessly use whale noises all the way through to try and add atmosphere and try to force the film into being a point about racism.It feels like watching a bad art house picture and belittles the victimIt's hard to find enough substance in the film to even meet the IMDb review minimum lines requirement. I definitely do not recommend you waste your time watching the film. I don't think the producers did any research into the crime that supposedly inspired it.
