It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
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.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
