One marvel of the film is how it conveys so much information so quickly, and with such accessibility.
Marquette, aided by Frank Langella's precise narration, has crafted an engrossing and disturbing tribute.
Though overstuffed, his film eschews pop-doc conventions by opting for in-depth analysis over superficiality.
It’s a mix of good films that could have been a single outstanding one.
This promisingly tragic tale is sunk by cartloads of context and an overbearing, slanted narration.
