Audience Reviews

SWITCH. 6/10 Feb 04, 2021
Whether or not there is justice come the end of the documentary - you'll have to wait and see. I greatly benefited by going into this film completely cold, but at the end of the day, this is a story that happened not so long ago, and most people will know how these events unfolded. I really wish there was less storytelling and more creativity, but alas, what is left is a run-of-the-mill documentary that presents a great story, but little else.
