- Award Snub: Some critics consider it a snub that the film wasn't nominated for a single Academy Award.
- Harsher in Hindsight: The movie is understandably critical of the behavior of the police officer who shot Oscar Grant, but still portrays him sympathetically. In 2019
, it was revealed the prevailing narrative of the shooting was based on false statements from the police, and that the officer called Oscar the N-word and beat him several times before shooting him. And one year later, the George Floyd video made the issue go nuclear. - Tear Jerker:
- Oscar getting shot and his later death at the hospital. Made all the sadder by the fact that this actually happened.
- What makes this sadder is when Tatianna asks “Where’s Daddy?” The worst part is that it’s the final line of dialogue in the movie.
- Anyone who loves dogs no doubt choked up at the bit where the dog got hit by the car.
- Oscar getting shot and his later death at the hospital. Made all the sadder by the fact that this actually happened.
