🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The direction is restrained and analytical, letting the facts build their own case. The camera captures not just events, but the digital ecosystem that enabled the manipulation.
It's for viewers drawn to psychology and the dark undercurrents of online influence. You're left with a disquieting awareness about the fragility of trust. — MovieFinder Editorial
