Full summary » | »
Story: This is the true story of Oscar, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who wakes up on the morning of December 31, 2008 and feels something in the air. Not sure what it is, he takes it as a sign to get a head start on his resolutions: being a better son to his mother, whose birthday falls on New Year's Eve, being a better partner to his girlfriend, who he hasn't been completely honest with as of late, and being a better father to T, their beautiful 4 year old daughter. He starts out well, but as the day goes on, he realizes that change is not going to come easy. He crosses paths with friends, family, and strangers, each exchange showing us that there is much more to Oscar than meets the eye. But it would be his final encounter of the day, with police officers at the Fruitvale BART station that would shake the Bay Area to its very core, and cause the entire nation to be witnesses to the story of Oscar Grant.

Fruitvale Station (2013) Review by jolgacr
This film depicts story of a deeply flawed young man struggling to turnhis life around. The movie reveals the generous good-hearted nature ofOscar, on whose life the story is based. The awards the film has wonare well deserved, as the film-maker succeeds in presenting anunsparing look at Oscar's many failings even as he humanizes this youngman whose life is largely unknown to the American public. In a quiteamazing fashion, all of this is done through the lens of a single dayin Oscar's life, with only the aid of one brief flash-back.
Despite his efforts and his kindness, Oscar is failing to transcend hispast as much as he is succeeding in doing so. His struggle to change isfueled by his relationships with three women central to his life, andwe are on the edge of our seats watching his relationships play outwith them, knowing before the movie begins how it will end. It is acredit to the film-maker that he is able both to maintain that tensionand at the same time to draw us into Oscar's world so effectively. Thiscraftsmanship only underlines the tragedy of the final outcome morestarkly.
It is sad that the review that wins pride of place on this websiteignores Oscar and focuses on Officer Mehserle, who appears only brieflyin the movie. The film does not demonize Officer Mehserle, and onemight be tempted to do, but rather presents him as a blank slate.Surely, as those who witnessed the events appeared to do, and as thejury who found him guilty corroborated, we might well assume that hecommitted a crime. However, his motives are not suggested in the movie,his youth is clearly depicted, and his inexperience implied. Surely anyprofessional, a doctor for example, who makes a mistake of motor memoryunder pressure and thus takes the life of another human being, shouldbe held accountable for her actions to the full extent of the law.
Fruitvale Station (2013) Review by harris1078 from Los Angeles, USA
I don't usually bother writing reviews, but this is a good little filmthat I feel has been unfairly maligned by a few uninformed reviewershere, so I'll add my two cents:
Fruitvale Station is a solid film, well paced and edited, with a stronglead performance by Michael B. Jordan and some standout work by OctaviaSpencer. The sound design is particularly noteworthy. The cinema veritecamera-work (No, "M. Brand," the visual style here was a choice; wellmade student films, even cheap ones, generally look better than this)left me underwhelmed for most of the film (and honestly, the mistimedfocus pulls were pretty distracting) but paid off big time in theFruitvale sequence. There the cinematography, editing, sound design,and score combined to create the most gripping ten minutes of film I'veseen in a year. I'd recommend Fruitvale on the strength of thissequence alone.
Ryan Coogler admittedly takes some dramatic license with the story.Some of it (the Katie character) works, some (the bit with the dog)comes off heavy-handed. None of it gave me any reason to question thefilm's "fidelity" to the facts. The unfettered access to Oscar'sfamily, legal documents from the criminal and civil case (including allthe video taken on the scene), and the tacit approval of BART (Theywere allowed to film on the actual BART platform and in their cars!)gives me no reason to believe this film takes any more narrativelicense with the facts of the Fruitvale incident than manydocumentaries would.
The film is not perfect. Some of the performances are subpar, some ofthe improvised dialogue bumps, and the day-in-the-life conceit, whilenot ignoring Oscar's spotty past, does paint him in an unrealisticallyrosy light. But by and large this is a moving, gripping, at timesinfuriating film that will stick with you after the credits roll.Congratulations to Coogler and his team.
**As for the troll who called this film "socially irresponsible," youropinion and the reasoning behind it are so abhorrent I struggle toimagine any person, no matter how ignorant or loathsome they might be,taking you seriously.
Fruitvale Station (2013) Review by keelab87 from Salt Lake City, UT
I knew nothing about the true story behind this film before I saw itbut Ryan Coogler did an impressive job of telling this controversialstory. Coogler takes us to the last day in 2008, and introduces us toOscar Grant's life. A young, troubled father that is trying to do theright thing by his family. This was his debut at Sundance and he didn'tdisappoint. The audience laughed when the actors laughed and shed tearswhen the actors shed tears...it was a very moving film. By the end ofthe film I felt as though I knew these people personally. The wholecast did an excellent job! I'm looking forward to hearing more aboutRyan Coogler in the future.
