🎬 MovieFinder's Take
A masterclass in vérité filmmaking that transforms a political implosion into Shakespearean tragedy. The access is staggering, revealing not just a campaign in freefall, but the human cost of self-destruction.
What lingers after the credits is the haunting image of a man being consumed by the very spectacle he helped create. It’s a cautionary tale about the modern intersection of politics, media, and personal pathology. — MovieFinder Editorial
