Nick Yarris has a gift. He is able to tell stories in such a way that as a viewer you want to hear every word he has to say, he is that good in forming his stories. He is able to bring situations to life by painting a colourful picture full of details. It is not often you come across people who are able to do this as well as him. Of course there are great writers who turn out amazing books, tv shows and movies, but how often do you listen to one person talking about his experiences? Nick Yarris is tha kind of man. He’s also convicted to a death sentence and has decided to no longer fight it and tell his story in this documentary. About his youth, his criminal activities and time in jail.
The monologue Yarris does is very well edited and makes the viewer constantly wonder why he is in prison, why he no longer wanted to live and of course why this documentary has that title. The interview is supported with beautiful imagery showing the things he is telling about full of emotion, whether that is in a prison where he wasn’t allowed to talk or a time when he had risked freezing to death. It is a masterful documentary which will keep you glued to the screen for an hour and a half.
