About
You may like this if you want a heavy, character-driven drama about grief, guilt, and justice, with strong acting and a bleak mood; Not for you if you want escapist entertainment or a lighter pace, like in Trust.
Pros: powerful performances; emotionally involving drama; tense moral dilemma | Cons: very depressing tone; some coincidences; can feel predictable
