Critic Reviews for 37
All Critics (9) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (7)
In the face of real-life tragedy, "37" only perpetuates a myth.
It is a haunting movie, one in its director's total control, full of disturbing ideas and no short amount of magic.
As Grasten strains to connect the unhappy lot to the Genovese myth, convincing drama flickers out of reach.
Grasten's film succeeds in further muddying the moral backwater dredged up by the Times story, but viewers who don't come forearmed with background knowledge will find it hard to stick with.
37 is disturbing for its reported accuracy surrounding the actual death of Genovese, but Grasten doesn't present an effective narrative. It's a slow burn, leading up to a third act that is muffled and lacks power.
Feels less interested in offering any commentary or adding any substance than in propagating the original myth.
