    Studious and Powerful

    by avckc

    Detached nature-documentary narration contrasts with intimate portrayal of variously-flawed characters mostly living ungraciously with their flaws. The resulting feeling is that humans cannot transcend their ugly animal nature. This movie begs our humanity as we root for the characters' redemption despite events which I will not reveal. This movie may traumatize you, but I think it will also challenge you to recognize your flaws and try to be a better person.

    Good movie!

    It was very well acted, and funny. But don't get fooled. It's a real drama.
