60 of 125 · most liked firstI’m rarely happy when a movie I like ends up going straight to Netflix, but The Perfect Neighbor is an exception. Folks who think they’re just in for some true-crime dreck are going to have to confront some heinous stuff about our country
positive · AI labelView post →I watched The Perfect Neighbor and I could not stop thinking about Ajike Owens’ children and the world they should have inherited instead of the one they got. I wrote about the white supremacist paranoia that robs Black children of their joy for my comrades at @theflytrapmedia.com

neutral · AI labelView post →I watched The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix - very worthwhile & well-constructed film - and it automatically rolled into the Lucy Letby doc straight after. I'd been completely unaware that they used genAI avatars to 'maintain the anonymity' of some of the interviewees. Just horrific and unnecessary.
positive · AI labelView post →I sobbed. (What a fantastic job they did on that film — I have stayed away from most crime docs lately because the filmmakers sensationalize so much. The Perfect Neighbor drew me in like a horror film and took hold of my heart.)

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the best movies of the year is a harrowing documentary assembled almost entirely from real-time footage. THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR, on Netflix, confronts Americans with an uncomfortable truth about what kind of communities we've built. Essential. www.pittsburghmagazine.com/movie-review...

"The Perfect Neighbor" and Raoul Peck's "Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5" are 2nd and 3rd. That's it for another year! Thanks to all my critical colleagues for their perspicacity. @nsfc.bsky.social #nsfc
neutral · AI labelView post →If you get through The Perfect Neighbor without crying or cussing like Sam Jackson in a Tarantino movie then I don’t trust you.
positive · AI labelView post →I just watched The Perfect Neighbor. It was very harrowing. The first half played out like a found footage horror film. Only you know it's real footage. I know a lot of people think found footage horror is garbage, so I want to be clear. I don't think that and I mean it as a compliment.
positive · AI labelView post →The Perfect Neighbor is a pretty incredible movie, and it's likely going to win the top award in documentary filmmaking on Sunday. But there are some legitimate questions to ask about its approach, especially for a doc that's reached this many people and will no doubt inspire many more like it:
neutral · AI labelView post →I was moved by The Perfect Neighbor at Sundance, but troubled by what getting dumped into Netflix's content sluice would do to the way viewers handled its risky elisions. I grappled with the way audiences change a movie, and whether that's fair to consider, or irresponsible to ignore.
neutral · AI labelView post →So I just watched "The Perfect Neighbor" - www.imdb.com/title/tt3496... Good grief. I appreciate the use of body cams and surveillance, the lack of a narrator, just using all the procedure and evidence in this case. Makes it deeply soul crushing. 7/10 #Movie #Review #ThePerfectNeighbor
positive · AI labelView post →"One woman. Dozens of 911 calls. And a close-knit neighborhood caught in a nightmare. What begins as one woman’s relentless harassment of children spirals into a shocking act of violence." The Perfect Neighbor. Out today on Netflix. From the doc team @blammoair.bsky.social is on.
neutral · AI labelView post →I had a really interesting conversation with Geeta Gandbhir about her new movie The Perfect Neighbor, which I found infinitely more compelling than any other Netflix true crime doc. Definitely recommend a watch this weekend. (Then follow it up with my interview! Geeta said some really smart stuff.)

neutral · AI labelView post →The superb Oscar-nominated film, THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR, used a lot of body-cam footage to great effect. A big takeaway from that is that it showed a lot of thoughtful police behavior even when confronted with difficult situations.
positive · AI labelView post →Oscar nominated director of THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR highlights how a film, once hoped to become irrelevant, is now even more pertinent, especially concerning the requirement for police bodycam footage. Nominated for the Best Documentary Feature. @netflix.com youtu.be/8iRZ-PKiT6k
neutral · AI labelView post →36 of 50: The Perfect Neighbor This is about the events leading up to Susan Lorincz fatally shooting Ajike Owens in 2023. The film primarily uses footage from body cams, phones, and interrogation with additional narration from witness statements. It’s well put together and infuriating to watch.
positive · AI labelView post →So looked up other reviews for The Perfect Neighbor and saw one negative review that said the film was "horror-catharsis" and "entertainment dynamic". She then doubled down in the comments saying there was no neutrality in the doc and called the footage of the children crying grotesque. Me:

neutral · AI labelView post →'The Perfect Neighbor' blew my socks off at Melbourne International Film Festival last year. Incredibly astute editing (Viridiana Lieberman) and directing (Geeta Gandbhir), harrowing in its grief, legacy and honesty. It left me reeling, and I am so happy that it was nominated for an Oscar.
