It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
