The quality of this documentary is extremely high. Whether you agree or disagree with the verdict, I found the arguments presented on each side to be very well-balanced, making this a true nail-biter to watch. The episodes were well paced and with just the right amount of content to keep you informed but also curious to keep watching. I did not feel at any point the story was being dragged on there was a very clear focus and point for each episode. The use of primarily home footage and expert interviews makes this even more interesting and real to watch - unlike some documentary series that have actors re-enact scenes with pointless side stories. Definitely worth watching and informing yourself on this truly heartbreaking documentary series!

I am not sure what people did not understand from this film. It's a straightforward revenge tale that questions your personal ethics and ideas of what is justice.

The cinematography is beautiful with wide frames and claustrophobic corridors, the dialogue is very typical Lanthimos style of cold and awkward (to emphasize the clinical nature of the characters) coupled humor and sarcasm. The acting is effortless and stays true to the nature of all the Lanthimos films - so I am unsure why anyone would watch this without doing their research first.

No point in slating or calling the film pretentious unless you understand the style of all these films, and go in knowing it will most probably be quite strange and make you think - a lot. If you want to watch films that are thought provoking and that make you feel uneasy - pick any from this director and you will not be disappointed!
