Very well executed
Best movie ever!
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.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
