Title: Hauntingly Compassionate
Review: I'm (almost) speechless after seeing The Bridge. It truly affected me...so much so, I replayed the entire movie a second time immediately.As a Bay Area native, the folklore is long over this man-made expanse and I even remotely know someone who took the leap. The editing is superb and the interviewees are left to tell their stories without the intrusion of an interviewer. The impact, palpable. With one exception for me, the soundtrack was almost another character itself.It wasn't until I did a little research afterward that I found out that all of the footage was shot during 2004 by the film maker; I figured there may have always been cameras perched around the bridge in hopes of intervening with the jumpers. While the subject matter may upset many viewers, I found this to be one of the most compelling documentaries I have ever seen and I'm a docu-junkie. I plan to buy it.
Is the review positive or negative?
