| The PlaylistChristopher BellImmediate and unrelenting, Snow On Tha Bluff is unlike anything you'll see this year... unless, of course, you live in the Bluff. |
| User Reviewdaniel mOh man, this is something else. You get the true "fly on the wall" feeling with this so called documentary. The horror genre has many films that used the 'found footage' approach to give a sense of total realism, and although this isn't a found footage film, the approach and feeling is very similar. Curtis Snow steals a hand held camera during a potential drug deal, and from there he has every moment possible of his life filmed. What we see is a first hand account of what life as a robber and drug dealer living in the projects of Atlanta is like. There's no Hollywood polish. There's no intended moral to the story other than what you want to read into it. It just is what it is. The daily struggles of a person who lives a life most of us have no clue about. The highs and lows. The drama and paranoia. The drugs and guns and shots fired. The issues of being a father on top of that. It's all here. And it's a must watch if you ask me. |
| User ReviewCameron EWhat's real and what's fake is blurred beyond perception and that's what makes Snow on tha Bluff a mockumentary masterpiece. |
| User ReviewDane SIf you have netflix this is a must see. I did research on it and it's real footage. The Atlanta police used it as evidence against Curtis in some cases. |
| User ReviewJoshua POk, so here's a shock-sploitative (yes, that is a pseudo-word, but this is a pseudo-movie) "movie" that is bound to reach a big-sized audience in America due to its raw, un-rehearsed take on life in Atlanta's Bluffs. Close encounters with guns and death take up most of the 'storyline', exposing the underbelly of 'those streets' that have been a part of Snow's family since he was born, at once feeling like some of the Gangland series (Banging In Little Rock, check it out) and also a glimpse of another form of the pain and violence that America's endemic poverty has inflicted on generations of kids like Curtis in 'hoods' like The Bluffs. There's no doubt now (after reading numerous interviews stating that they had edited much of the story to flow linearly yet still had a no-punches-held in-the-moment documented reality) that Curtis Snow desired this to be a piece of found-footage legend, and to be honest, I hope it does gain that status. This scenario is enough of a window into the consequences of today's 'notions' of gangster culture that I would definitely claim this could be one of those 'must be experienced to be believed' cult legends that speaks to kids of all racial socioeconomic backgrounds (but most especially privileged white kids who've never seen how a quickly a good drug deal can go bad). 5/5 Tightly wound, gripping, and fast-moving - without a doubt better than any big studio interpretation of gang culture could ever get. This is one that will be talked about for years to come, an important study for both film and socioeconomics students. |
| User ReviewJosh FStunningly realistic 'hood movie. And I know 'hood. |
| User ReviewLee MOne of the greatest dope boy documentaries I've seen #NoLie. Curtis Snow lived a life dat fake gangstas lie about! |
| User ReviewNelson GInteresting movie done in a way that doesn't glorify violence or drug selling, in an area, where both are prevalent. The movie was just very matter of fact. Anyone who is questioning the authenticity of the movie, is watching it for the wrong reason. Great movie. |
| User ReviewCherrie MVery interesting movie, the fact that it has people questioning if it's real or not shows how good it really is. Great plot too. |
| User ReviewMike OHands down the BEST documentary I've ever seen. People cans ay it's fake all they want. This is a REAL LIFE film and there's no doubt about it. No actor could ever mimic what the people in this film did. |
