Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

A small time politician is running for public office with strong support from his daughter and her mid twenties friends. The mayoral race is close and the challenger is haunted with recurring accounts of an incident during his time as the fire chief. The character development for this indie film is well done with different story arcs in play. The script is snappy and plausible with noticeable use of "F" words in expected pointed situations. The cinematography is consistent except for a couple of too close, close-ups in news casts. Graphic violence in a couple of spots fit well with plot twists and are difficult to anticipate. The story arc keeps the viewer engaged. There are a couple of continuity flaws but not too distracting.
