Courage to Tell Without Judging
For those who can engage with a story where the creators have the courage to depict people without dividing their actions into what they "should" or "should not" do, without constantly playing the role of judge, and instead focusing on the subjective experience of these individuals, this film comes highly recommended.
It is not a "beautiful" film. There are no simple answers. But the emotions and experiences of the people involved are portrayed in a way that is intense, unfiltered, and realistic. So honest and raw that it hurts.
For everyone else, colorful Disney films are recommended. In those, there is always a "good" and a "bad," and everyone gets what they deserve according to the unrelenting moral judgment of the story.
Sadly, the reviews from the "morally superior" will likely be just as negative for Glasner's new film, as "grace" in their view is only reserved for the "good" ones...
