John Denver Trending (2019)

Strong theme. Mid-drama. Still recommended.

There is nothing special about this movie but still it's strong enough to deliver its theme. Majority of the actors here are surprisingly good considering all of them are non professionals except to Ms. Meryll Soriano. And kudos to her, she delivers an extraordinary performance being the mother of John Denver. I like the scoring, acting, and also the story. It highly pinpoints the true dangers of internet and toxicity of social media especially spreading fake news. I like the movie the way it only focuses about the issue of John Denver's trending video and on what actions should the authority to do about it. You can feel the events happening in the movie. The emotions, the anger and desperation. I just don't like the fact that this story has no resolution about the problem. It was stuck there, desperately accusing John Denver about the stolen iPad and him telling people he did not do the stealing. Overall, the movie is still good and recommended. By the way the ending is very sad.
