“Another reviewer referred to this as u0026quot;astonishing.u0026quot; I suppose that can be taken several ways.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhen I decided to watch this film I missed u0026quot;musicalu0026quot; in the description and mistakenly assumed it was a murder docu-drama, rather than a crime docu-songfest.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI guess it could be described as innovative. It is allegedly based on a real event, the real words of those in the community, the reactions/implications of u0026amp; for those in the locale affected by the murders and the subsequent investigations. As we are told repeatedly, people became suspicious of one another.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe question remains, is all of this something to sing about. The medium is the message or at least it influences how one feels about it all. For me it just seemed tedious and rather bizarre.”
