Featured review
On the surface, this very well-made film looks like a detective-slash-court drama about sexual abuse, which is absolutely true: there's no other topic raised directly. But deep down, and that is only felt as a certain "aftertaste", one can understand it's a lot more than that: cultural and personal norms as well as values, new perspectives on lifestyles, ways of making priorities, contrast and similarities between youth and the elders shown so well by the secondary characters.
Towards the end of it, I was eager to pop inside the jury's heads and see what and why convinces them to bring the verdict. But no, the storyteller remains impartial, and I'm remaining the jury for myself. With more questions than answers and a lot of food for thought. Bravo!
