🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The documentary constructs its narrative like a legal thriller, relying on exclusive access to the defendant, his family, and experts from both sides. It explores the unsettling collision of forensic psychiatry and criminal law, where a medical anomaly becomes a defense.
What lingers after the final frame is a profound unease about the very nature of consciousness and culpability. The film leaves you questioning where justice truly lies in the shadowy realm between wakefulness and sleep. — MovieFinder Editorial
