This strory/case is entirely based on the media's viewpoint. The emphasis of the story is the role of media nowadays and the massive impact it makes on people. Had I expected this, I could have liked this more maybe. So I am writing this review, and let people know what to expect to (maybe) enjoy this. There is no "how to find the truth out" part to this film. It's all a guesswork until the conclusion is introduced. I found the first hour incredibly boring. It's a series of story segments told by people. There, you try and put the case together, based on the narrative by various people. I didn't like that it took an hour for someone to question the credibility of some stories. I thought it was pretty obvious that they could either be true or not and that the viewer was to find it all out later. The second half was a little better, but I didn't find it cleverly done overall. Pieces started to fall into place slowly, and then suddenly the conclusion appeared out of blue. The story is complete, but I wished for more explanations in the end. But! I have to admit that this outcome was done on purpose. After all, the whole point is "we only know what we are told". And doesn't the media love juicy gossips? Personally, I didn't really like it. But I didn't know what to expect either. So I think there is point in re-watching it again to find connections between the narratives that were missed in the first round, but I found the characters' personality so badly written up that I will never bother with this again.
