Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
