After my first viewing my comment was, "I should have taken Selma's advice and left before the last song." What's surprising to me about it is that when you watch it it feels so real, like this could really happen to someone as disenfranchised as Selma. Then you step back and realize - wait - that was the most contrived plot I've ever seen! Bjork accused the director (forgetting his name) of making "emotional pornography." I totally agree. It wasn't even cathartic.
I saw this right before Wildcat officer elections my senior year, which just made that whole session surreal.
