About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a raw, family-centered true-crime story with lingering questions, in the vein of I'll Be Gone in the Dark or The Jinx; Not for you if you need tight pacing and clear resolution.

Pros: intensely personal journey; gripping mystery threads; emotionally powerful moments | Cons: slow, repetitive pacing; meanders without structure; limited closure for viewers
