🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its case with forensic precision, relying solely on the testimonies of five soldiers present at the massacre. It explores the banality of evil through unadorned close-ups and stark silence, building a chilling narrative of following orders and shattered morality.
What lingers after viewing is the weight of unflinching testimony and the haunting normalcy of the speakers. A crucial, difficult document of war's true cost. — MovieFinder Editorial
