Good start, but then it gets ruined
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
