Reviews
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
