The CinePearl Take
David France’s patient pacing lets the mystery unfold like a quiet courtroom drama, never sacrificing the emotional core. Victoria Cruz’s relentless pursuit feels both investigative and deeply personal, anchoring the film with a sense of urgency. The archival clips of Marsha’s own voice and performances remind us why her spirit still reverberates today, making the film as much a tribute as a call to action.
