Reviews
It is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
