About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, true-crime drama-thriller with messy choices, strong acting, and rising tension; Not for you if you need likable characters or a more uplifting tone like Arkansas.
Pros: intense true-crime story; standout lead performance; tense moments | Cons: uneven overall impact; hard to empathize; casting feels off
