Really skilful and engaging filmmaking with minimal action. The interviews work with the imageries, and works together to build an impressive piece of film journalism.

not a postmodernist rejection of the goals of verité so much as an ironic rebuttal to its methodology, it asserted that to find the truth about a species which exists, individually and culturally, inside a maze of self-serving fictions, cinema should dive headlong into artifice itself. thirty years later this no longer seems very radical nor among the most comprehensive examples of its argument, but that's a testament to its formative influence, which i'm very grateful for.

Morris' patient and meticulous storytelling--his dramatic use of print, his breathing interviews, his multi-angled crime scene recreations--is something to behold in and of itself, even if the actual story has since been lapped in terms of sheer shock value by newer true crime sagas.
