Friday, an endeavor marked by a team of enthusiastic actors and filmmakers, introduces us to the events of a single day, the crucial aspects of the story that precede it and the horrifying conclusion it is eventually moving towards. The narrative follows a non-linear trajectory to portray it all for the viewer as it introduces them to one character after another. 

 The plot progression is further equipped with a wry narratorial voice that aims to involve you further into the story, thereby attempting to enhance the final result by adding another layer to it. The film exhibits deep potential, a bona fide desire to share an important story, along with a sincerity to performance by all the actors. 

 Additionally, the plot pushes its limits by breaking the fourth wall, fast-paced development of the circumstance and a shocking turn of events in a story that had begun on a fairly harmless note. Consequently, Friday becomes an engaging film with a relevant message, finally leaving the viewer with the interesting prospect of seeing more similar projects by its tenacious team.

The film is a sincere plea to end the evil that is gun violence, save countless lives lost because of it, and contain and prevent the pain that is caused in its wake. The intentions of the narrative are shared with the viewer using the story of a family - a husband, wife and their young daughter. As soon as the film opens, the viewer is introduced to what will come to influence and mould the rest of the narrative. A man is walking with his daughter when he is accosted by another man. It is not a cordial exchange but one marked by its heat and displeasure. The incident is brought up again around a meal table, and the unease of the scene is confirmed by the disapproval of the wife. What unfolds next ensures that Because of You manages to make its message clear for the audience.
