Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
