🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Frederick Wiseman constructs his cinematic ethnography by relying on the method of direct observation. He explores the mechanisms of a power institution, avoiding voiceover commentary and letting the situations speak for themselves.
What lingers after the viewing is the complex sensation of observing the machinery of order in action, presented with stark impartiality. The film's power lies in its refusal to simplify. — MovieFinder Editorial
