What the hell? How did this movie get so many good ratings from critics?

This movie is inspired from the event of 2008 in Quebec where a young man gets shot by a police officer. I thought they would follow the true story but instead they just spit on its face after 20 minutes and create some fictional non-sensical story.

The story makes no sense at all. Why would she change clothes for her brother? That's just dumb. Of course the police would notice it and the whole family is at stake because of it.

The story is super one-dimensional. It feels like the writers don't know anything about how the police works and it how it handles crime. I am not defending the police, but they literally treat them like its the devil. Was the police in the wrong for that event? Most certainly, the policeman killed an innocent and should be punished for it. But do you really had to go all this way to turn this movie into a political agenda?

My biggest gripe and problem with this, is that they are inspired by a real-life event and they completely disrespect it by becoming a fictional nightmare where everybody is an crap except the main carachters for some reasons.

Overall, this movie was just very bad. I just wanted the film to finish and it felt like a chore to watch. There's no actual message to get from this movie and all of this makes little to no sense. The only reason im giving it 2 stars is because the first 15-20 minutes were fine, until the main character goes to prison for his brother, that's when the plot started to go away from the original event to a fictional drama to fit the writer's agenda. This is an insult to the actual event that happened in 2008.
