THE WITNESS<\/strong>
\nFilmRise<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten, Shockya<\/strong>
\nGrade: B<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0\u00a0 James Solomon<\/strong>
\nWritten by: William Genovese, Russell Greene, Gabriel Rhodes, James Solomon<\/strong><\/strong>
\nScreened at: Review 1, NYC, 4\/21\/16<\/strong>
\nOpens: June 3, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winston Moseley died in prison a few months ago at the age of 81, after serving 52 years behind bars (minus whatever days or hours he gained after breaking out).\u00a0 Ordinarily a person like him would receive not a single sentence in any respectable newspaper, but this vile sociopath, guilty of killing three women and raping at least two of them while they were dying, may have picked the wrong victim in Catherine \u201cKitty\u201d Genovese.\u00a0 In 1964, as she was walking home in the early morning from her job as bar manager in Kew Gardens, Queens, she was stabbed in the back by Moseley, screamed \u201cHelp, I\u2019m stabbed\u201d at a vocal volume sufficient to wake up the neighbors, 38 of whom have been accused of hearing her pleas and doing nothing.\u00a0 Moseley, who confessed to the crime, had run to his car fearing that the screams would bring help,that perhaps several neighbors would call the police.\u00a0 When he saw no help coming, he returned to the scene minutes later, continued stabbing Ms. Genovese, and raped her while she bled to death.<\/p>\n

Of course the public heard the news and got scared.\u00a0 Some figured \u201cThat\u2019s it.\u00a0 New York is too dangerous and I\u2019m outta here,\u201d and in fact some members of the family had moved to New Canaan, Connecticut.\u00a0 The real reason for the cause c\u00e9l\u00e8b, however, is the view that 38 people in an apartment complex heard the screams and yet nobody did anything.\u00a0 As printed in the New York Times, the feeling was that New York was a cold place of indifferent people who did not want to get involved.\u00a0 Much later, the estimate was that only 18 people heard the screams, that one neighbor called out to Moseley \u201cGet away from her,\u201d and that at least one person, Karl Ross, did call the police, who arrived in two minutes and too Kitty to the hospital where she died.\u00a0 What\u2019s more Sophia Farrar, a friend and next-door-neighbor, rushed outside in her robe to try to save Kitty\u2019s life.\u00a0 Yet another witness, Joseph Fink, was aware she was stabbed in the first attack and only Karl was knew about the second.\u00a0 Further, neighbors who were interviewed asserted that they thought the ruckus was nothing more than a domestic argument or a drunken brawl.\u00a0 Evidence is coming up that the situation did not point to indifference of New Yorkers but that other motives were present to explain the passivity of those in the immediate area.<\/p>\n

The documentary \u201cThe Witness,\u201d a work taking eleven years to make, is filmed by James Solomon in his freshman work as director.\u00a0 Solomon, who has writing credits for what he calls iconic stories, was involved in \u201cThe Conspirator,\u201d about the Lincoln assassination, and \u201cThe Bronx is Burning\u201d about George Steinbrenner\u2019s Yankees.\u00a0 In this documentary he focuses on the obsessive work by Kitty\u2019s brother, Bill Genovese, in tirelessly interviewing anyone, especially former neighbors, to get at the truth, and interestingly, one of the few people who declined to be interviewed was the killer\u2014though the film captures him in jail giving the impression that emotionally he was cold as ice.\u00a0 Still, we\u2019re able to see from what Moseley had previously said on camera, that this intelligent, married man with two children was intent on \u201ckilling a woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bill Genovese is concerned not only with digging up more about the killing but also on giving the audience a feeling that his sister was not just a victim, but a human being, the leader of any social group, who was not motivated to go to college but opted to stay in New York while others were moving away.\u00a0 Also revealed is that she has a lesbian attachment to her roommate Mary Ann Zielonko, whom she had met in Greenwich Village and with whom she moved to Kew Gardens the year before Kitty\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Bill\u2019s passion is obvious.\u00a0 The man is a Vietnam hero, having lost both legs, and now serving as featured man in the film while in a wheelchair, easily moving from the chair to the car and, with some help, taking trips by air.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Among the people he successfully captures interviews with include Abe Rosenthal, former editor of the New York Times, who had broken the story that dozens had witnessed the murder two weeks earlier, and who wrote the book called \u201cThirty-Eight Witnesses.\u201d\u00a0 All of which proves that the New York Times is not always accurate in its reporting.<\/p>\n

After all is said, we in the audience cannot view anything with certainty about the alleged indifference of New Yorkers, leaving the solution as up-in-the-air as an unrelated controversy posed by the movie \u201cVaxxed.\u201d This film benefits from some simple 2-D animation acting out the murder and climaxes with the blood-curdling screams of an actress who reenacts the killing.\u00a0 This last item makes one wonder: when the performer screamed, nobody came to the windows.\u00a0 Is this an implied criticism of the folks in the building, or had they been told in advance that the scene would be recapitulated and not to worry?<\/p>\n

Unrated.\u00a0 89 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
