Reviews
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
