    Maybe the best movie I've seen this year, reminiscent of Capturing the Friedmans, but with an even crazier true story. "The truth" really doesn't exist when talking about these cases. Amazing.

    I was truly captivated by this film. Amazing story & brilliantly effective interview techniques & editing make for great storytelling.

    A strange and compelling film. A deliberation on the nature of truth and lies that had me completely gripped.
