Reviews
-
"With its measured pace and dramatic revelations delivered almost casually, the film stands as an antithesis to those trendy true-crime docs that work so hard to thrill us."

-
"A beautiful film about a place and its people, with questions about the past that resonate subtly and profoundly with our present."
