Bashing (1991) is like a raw nerve laid bare. It's a documentary that doesn't shy away from the brutal realities of antigay hate crimes in America. The tone is heavy, almost oppressive, and the pacing feels deliberate, drawing you into the grim atmosphere. You get this collage of real events, news footage, and personal stories that just hit hard. It’s not slick or polished, which honestly works in its favor; it feels immediate and urgent. The performances aren’t traditional but more so the visceral reactions of those affected. What distinguishes this film is its refusal to gloss over the harsh truths—the anger and pain are palpable. It’s not easy viewing, but sometimes that's needed to confront these issues head-on.
