Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Excellent, smart action film.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I am glad I stopped it and read the reviews before wasting any more time on this movie that moves at a glacial pace and totally disrespects her life. Very upsetting. I love Samira Wiley, but even she couldn't save this.

What... in the hell... did I just WATCH! Really? Really?? REALLY?!? Good God this was awful. I only watched this to see how well Sophia Lillis can act, seeing as how IT is coming out this Friday. She was good, that's all I have to say in regards to that. The other actors and actresses? Holy cow, awful, just simply awful. I really do hope the situation didn't actually go down like this in real life, what happened to that poor girl, with no one helping. If it did, what a bunch of weak and moronic people. The film itself? Horrible direction, camera work, editing, dialogue, pacing, and acting (save for Sophia Lillis). What a complete slap in the face to the victim, and insult to her family. I don't believe it's the actors and actresses fault one bit. If this director has any association with the Directors Guild of America, fire her from any and every future project. This is a high contender for The Golden Raspberry Awards. Huge thumbs down.

I won't repeat all the justifiably outraged comments this film deserves by distorting not only the basic facts of the Genovese murder but also perpetrating misguided fiction. If you decide to make a movie based on any *real* case, at least do basic research. Even before "The Witness" (an amazing film) was released it was well-known that the Times had fluffed the apathy angle to stoke sales.No, what makes Puk Grasten's film irredeemable is it's utter lack of a story or any compelling (strike that --- NON-repellent), even interesting characters. These fantasy "neighbors" are all given stereotypical bad-sitcom dilemmas and we watch them yell, kick, scream, and drag for the longest 85-minute run-time I've endured this year. None of the subplots has any bearing on the crime (you could be watching a really dull Law and Order) and Grasten falls back on primitive symbolism such as the innocent all-seeing nature of the child vs. jaded self-absorbed adulthood. Maybe "37" is what it appears to be --- a glib, inauthentic, attention-seeking morality-play payday. But if "37" *is* a sincere attempt at making a meaningful or engaging film, its dismal failure doesn't make it any less a waste of anyone's time.

Barely references the murder or the things that were shouted by the victim. The directors pointlessly use whale noises all the way through to try and add atmosphere and try to force the film into being a point about racism.It feels like watching a bad art house picture and belittles the victimIt's hard to find enough substance in the film to even meet the IMDb review minimum lines requirement. I definitely do not recommend you waste your time watching the film. I don't think the producers did any research into the crime that supposedly inspired it.
