Absolutely Fantastic
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
