dark informative medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

Based on a true story and harrowing history. Finely written. But it felt distant and didactic. Conveyed, not personally known.
