As a true-crime documentary, I felt the presentation of the case was rather lacklustre. The title gives away the one obvious (and anticipated) twist, especially for regular true-crime content consumers such as myself. The reenactments are plain and straightforward, and while the makers do not attempt any ridiculous editing gimmicks, they still could've done a better job of keeping the proceedings crisp and engaging.

For a piece that's supposed to play out like a thriller, it fails at doing exactly that. What we end up getting is a mostly flat retelling of the entire saga, which has been tackled in a more engrossing manner by at least a few YouTubers. It only tries to play into the dramatic "shock-value-providing" side of the story, while treating all the other aspects such as parental expectations, poor state of mental health, and immigrant life as ancilliary. Also, to hell with AI-generated imagery!
