A British American documentary by Eric Steel.
The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco California is a popular suicide destination. Interviews are interspersed with footage of the bridge and jumps.
So slow! If this were a book, it would have half a sentence per page and tons of blank pages between sentences. It seems like Eric there wanted to stretch a 10 minute mini-doc into a feature length film. The interviews weren't all that great, just relatives complaining about their non-conformist child/cousin/sibling/friend who jumped. Then the climax came at the end. The guy with long dark hair who was pacing the bridge through the whole duration executed a remarkable jump. That was the best part. Otherwise, it was painful to watch because of so much B-roll and dead air. I rate this bad because it wasn't bad enough to turn off. You would really be better off watching something that makes better use of time.
Someone jumping was “the best part”? Do you have any humanity at all?
