Audrie and Daisy

There's more than enough story to tell here, maybe too much for just one film, no matter how well-meaning it may be.

Audrie & Daisy is a stark portrait of a problem which is not in any way local, aberrant, or random. The problem is systemic.

What the documentary does well ... is critique a culture that allows young men to disregard other people's humanity.

The movie is a sobering look at the minefield teenage girls traverse when it comes to drinking, pressure from porn-addled boys and social media popularity.

This documentary may indeed stir outrage and encourage victims to report such crimes. But it's still a song we've heard before.

This powerful doc chronicles the dismally unjust aftermaths of two recent juvenile sexual-assault cases in the U.S.

Painful, unflinching story of rape and bullying.

The documentary scrutinizes the "blame the victim" mentality that has seemingly gotten worse in the internet era. But the film also offers a redemptive message of compassion via a network of survivors.

This is a compelling story, told with tenderness and sensitivity.

Unfortunately, Audrie & Daisy can only show reprehensible behavior rather than break it down. Thankfully, it also shows how women can speak out and be their own advocates.

This film doesn't convey either the tragedy or the responses to it in any way not hidebound by documentary convention.
