🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs the narrative as a judicial chronicle, relying on the documentary foundation while avoiding excessive melodrama. The camera works closely with the characters' portraits, exploring the silent questions in their eyes more than the loud speeches in the courtroom.

What lingers after viewing is a heavy awareness of how easily the system can choose a 'convenient' culprit, and society can believe in that choice. The film forces one to reflect on the price of principles when a human life is at stake. — MovieFinder Editorial
