🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Erin Lee Carr constructs the narrative as a true-crime puzzle, relying on harrowing home videos, candid interviews, and police footage. She explores the toxic symbiosis between victim and perpetrator, where illness becomes a weapon and love a prison.
What lingers after the credits is a profound unease about the stories we tell ourselves and the horrors that can fester behind a facade of care. — MovieFinder Editorial
