Leave your thoughts about A Necessary Death.
| IGN DVDR.L. ShafferA Necessary Death presents a wholly original, fascinating and curiously terrifying documentary that's likely to either captivate or revolt audiences. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergA thoroughly engrossing little film that's also quite slyly entertaining, despite its rather unsavory subject matter. |
| IGN DVDR. L. ShafferA Necessary Death presents a wholly original, fascinating and curiously terrifying documentary that's likely to either captivate or revolt audiences. |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouRumsey TaylorA Necessary Death, despite its provocations, remains timid and dramatized, ultimately favoring plot machinations to considering the issue of suicide more deeply. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanA Necessary Death will make you squirm and think in equal measure. For my money, that makes it a picture worth paying attention to. |
| Big HollywoodChristian TotoA Necessary Death takes a hot button issue - suicide - and expands it to reveal the fuzzy line between art and morality. |
| HollywoodChicago.comBrian TallericoThese are daring, challenging themes for a young filmmaker and Stamm proves to be adept at playing with ideas that scare away writer/directors with twice as much experience. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressStamm is able to diminish our misgivings over its authenticity by mastering the "documentary of a documentary" style and satisfying the gravity of the drama through situations that have more truth to them than a lot of staged situations in non-fiction. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo Tucker'A Necessary Death' treats the topic of sucide in a disturbing yet creative way. This is a shocking, emotionally powerful film. |
| User ReviewMisty MI absolutely loved this movie. Thinking it was a documentary going into it, I was squeamish and saddened by what I saw. The ending took me completely by surprise - and it was only after googling it that I realized it was a scripted film. And I loved it even more! Not once did I suspect I was watching actors - pure brilliance. It raises so many different points - I could fill up ten screens! Bottom line is you'll be thinking about it for days, weeks, after. |
