But Kim A. Snyder is anything but a documentarian whose film would appeal to an audience looking for the lurid.\u00a0 Instead, \u201cNewtown\u201d is a meditation on grief, on the reactions of a middle-class community both near the time of the shooting and now, four years later.\u00a0 Three years in the making, \u201cNewtown\u201d deals with survivor guilt, grief of the most painful kind, and a dogged determination to maintain residence in the small community notwithstanding the gutting of the Sandy Hook Elementary School and its rebuilding nearby.<\/p>\n<p>An audience can\u2019t be blamed for wondering why the words \u201cAdam Lanza\u201d were not mentioned at any time, nor was any grief spent on the autistic murderer\u2019s mother, the first to die on that fateful day.\u00a0 Yet Newtown is the sort of place where you\u2019d never expect such mayhem to take place, though any community could fall prey to a well-armed psychotic like Lanza, whose mother shares some of the blame for filling her residence with guns notwithstanding her knowledge that her twenty-year-old belonged in an institution.<\/p>\n<p>Parents Mark Barden, David Wheeler, and Nicole Hockley are front and center, sharing their memories of their children, showing pictures, both still and in motion of the adorable kids whose lives were cut short in the one place that should have kept them safe.\u00a0\u00a0 One of the parents, Hockley, traveled about the U.S. to share her story, while Barden and Hockley spoke at legislative hearings in Washington, though to nobody\u2019s surprise, members of Congress in the pockets of the National Rifle Association refused to authorize even modest national checks on gun purchasers.<\/p>\n<p>One of the issues taken on by Kim A. Snyder in this brief, eight-five minutes\u2019 documentary may sound familiar to anyone who wonders what to say to a neighbors who have lost people dear to them.\u00a0 You may think that in trying to comfort your friend, you are only stoking the flames of grief, though on the other hand, if you avoid contact, you may be considered indifferent.<\/p>\n<p>Fil Eisler\u2019s music is anything but intrusive in a film edited without the need for a chronological narrative.\u00a0 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovguide.com\/newtown-9202a8c04000641f800000004d8cb0fd\" title=\"More about Newtown\" target=\"_blank\">Newtown<\/a>\u201d is for the special audience that eschews sensationalism, though for others the waves of tearful commentary could prove wearisome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated.\u00a0 85 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 B<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Acting \u2013 B<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Technical \u2013 B+<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Overall &#8211; B<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/newtown.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/newtown.jpg\" alt=\"newtown\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-162804\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/newtown.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/newtown-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEWTOWN\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 Abramorama Reviewed by: Harvey Karten, Shockya Grade: B Director:\u00a0 Kim A.
