Shot with slick cinematography and production design, the dark subject matter that belies the bright, colorful aesthetic makes it clear that Renz and Bush are emphasizing the contrast of the history we’ve been taught with the ugly truth. That doesn’t make it any less jarring, nor does it completely cover up just how muddled the story gets. Much of that has to do with the narrative flow, but it also has to do with the lack of characterization. The film waits until the second act to allow us to get acquainted with its central characters, and most of them are one-note. There’s a superficiality to it all that makes the core theme feel all the more ham-fisted.
