It left me incredulous, but even more so when a google revealed the film's more unbelievable moments to be true. You'd think alarm bells would be ringing with these people way before it goes to the places it goes, but no. Utterly jaw dropping and infuriating in equal measure, but a fascinating watch all the same. |
Probably my favourite film last year, truly disturbing and provocative - more so than Maniac for me in alot of ways. The Youtube video with the real interviews (which are just like the one at the end) is horribly compelling, even if the journalists are just horrible themselves.
Up there with The Woman and Snowtown among my favourite ****ed-up films of the last few years, rewards repeat viewing too.
