Pretty straightforward rundown of the events, but solid nonetheless.

Well made but nothing really groundbreaking. The initial shock of how bad this went was too recent for this to be surprising to anyone but those too young, or oblivious to remember it.

I had forgotten -- or never even knew -- that they weren't actually guilty, but I wasn't surprised. This makes a great counter-point to The Hunting Ground, and possibly even a rebuttal.

I guess there are people who still believe the players are guilty so this film is for them? It really is far to basic about what happened. It's just the story. There were a couple really enjoyable moments with the lawyers, but if I dictated the focus of this film, I would have put more emphasis on things like the roll of the media, the concept of innocent until proven guilty, and the process of public indictment based on perception vs. reality. But it's 30 for 30, so at least worth a watch.

To end this story/base it on the fact that the players "didn't do it" is insane. This story is a stand-in for class struggles, racism, hyper-masculinity, the broken, American education system and more. To let these boys off the hook, because their sex party didn't involve a felony and at the same time to overlook their culture of privilege, aggression, lack of empathy and failures is shameful! They even get the last word. They are accused of something they didn't do. But they are not victims.
