If you see one film this entire year, go see Detropia. If you are an American citizen, go see Detropia. The film goes to great lengths to tell the story of our fellow citizens without spoon-feeding the audience an agenda, pointing the finger at one political party, or blaming someone. It's not about Democrats, it's not about Republicans, it's about our neighbors. You connect with every character in the film because you know that person, you've grown up with those people. You relate to their problems because it's your problem too. Your heartbreaks one moment, and you are falling out of your seat laughing the next.
The visuals are a spectacularly-crafted work of art, the score is haunting and beautiful, the poignant storytelling will touch you deeper than any Hollywood, indie, or any other film in-between. Go see Detropia in theaters now.
