LAST TAKE: RUST AND THE STORY OF HALYNA I I One of the sadder yet fascinating stories of filmmaking over the last several years, Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna does a credible job of balancing the emotion with the Hollywood. Rachel Mason definitely doesn't focus on opinion but gives facts and a lot of evidence via footage for the viewer to make their take on an unfortunate moment.

Great documentary, thought provoking too, who really is at fault.

Insightful documentary, but wanted more

This was an interesting examination of an on-set tragedy, but they could have put more focus on Halyna Hutchins herself. The director mentions at the beginning of the film that Halyna's husband asked her to make a film about her life--this doesn't feel like that film. We get bits and pieces of Hutchins' life and work--details such as growing up in the Arctic Circle and loving to watch movies, that her mother still lives in Ukraine, and that Halyna was a rising cinematographer, wife, and mother--all of which make you want to know more. It's evident she was a passionate artist and her loss means so much to her family and fellow filmmakers. And undoubtedly it would have been hard to include so many details in an hour and a half documentary, but you come away with the feeling that the world--and even we as viewers--never really saw who she was.As an examination of the on-set shooting and aftermath, the film does a decent job of interviewing crew members, investigators, and showing bodycam footage from that day. The documentary does give you multiple perspectives of the event. One surprising detail that is left out is reports of target practice with live rounds on the set, which were circulated in the media in the days after the shooting. Perhaps those reports have been proven to be unsubstantiated, but the documentary notes six live rounds were found on the set, while no possible explanations for this are mentioned.In the end, there have been and will be more documentaries that cover this tragedy in some respect--I just hope this filmmaker gives us more of a personal look at Halyna Hutchins at some point to appreciate the human being and artist who was lost.
