The CinePearl Take
Reiner’s direction balances relentless pacing with moments of quiet reflection, letting the subjects’ voices breathe without heavy narration. The collaborative effort of Moritz, Agler, and Reiner yields a cohesive narrative that never feels sensationalist. Its central theme—how ordinary citizens become inadvertent chroniclers of trauma—resonates long after the credits roll.
