🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This film operates as a gripping legal thriller authored by reality itself. Its power lies in the forensic dismantling of evidence and the human faces marked by stolen time.

What lingers after the credits is a profound unease about the fragility of justice and a quiet fury that demands witness. It's a stark reminder of how easily truth can be buried by prejudice and procedure. — MovieFinder Editorial
