Reviews
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
