For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
