It starts very well, with very realistic performances, interesting situations and clever dialogues. The archive footage most of the time blends fine with the fiction and you almost feel it's all real. However, the texts on the screen soon become very annoying and redundant, they make the film very slow and add an over dramatic narrative that becomes too discursive and propagandist. The film turns into some kind of documentary and loses its early approach. It even includes a voice over that to me felt completely out of place. Another thing that bothered me was the hysterical officials yelling and arguing, those scenes were explanatory and silly. If the film would have maintained the direction of the first scenes and kept a better pace it would be a masterpiece. I say you have to be in a good mood to watch this film because it's very depressing, there's no hope, it ends up as a complete a psychological horror film.
