Keira Jang as Kiah in Can I Get a Witness?
The notion that humanity would be better off if there were just less of us isn't a new one, and science-fiction has been toying with that notion at least as far back as William F. Nolan and George Clayton's novel Logan's Run , which offered up a futuristic world where equilibrium is achieved simply by culling the population with mandatory killings dictated by age.
Though the universe established in the film might raise a lot of questions — like how in the heck did the whole world ever come together to agree on these pretty drastic steps? — Fleming side-steps all the big-picture stuff to focus almost solely on the lives of these three people across just a couple of days. Kiah attends her first EOL ceremony, where a loving couple share little pre-written speeches to each other that almost sound like wedding vows .
'Can I Get a Witness?' Feels a Little Scattershot Can I Get a Witness?'s biggest failing may be that it flutters through so many different ideas without truly or fully dissecting any of them. There's a diversion that lays into social media. Our main characters ride bikes, and there's a brief mention of "travel vouchers," hinting that automobile and air traffic are severely restricted. Couples are limited to just one child, and there are allusions to previous A.I.
There's a disclaimer in the movie's credits that reads: "We want to initiate positive conversations about the world we inhabit, how we affect it, and the power of personal agency to change things for the better." That's followed by a link to the film's website that heavily highlights the filmmakers' goal of practicing good sustainability practices during the making of the film.
