The movie is a powerful drama and a fictional account of the night Kitty Genovese was murdered in 1964, Kew Gardens, Queens when 37 people silently witness the brutal murder and no one intervenes.
Grasten's film succeeds in further muddying the moral backwater dredged up by the Times story, but viewers who don't come forearmed with background knowledge will find it hard to stick with.
37 is disturbing for its reported accuracy surrounding the actual death of Genovese, but Grasten doesn't present an effective narrative. It's a slow burn, leading up to a third act that is muffled and lacks power.
