Another piece of history I didn’t know about. It’s an intelligent move that maintains the ambiguity of the event and the lack of certainty of what really happened. The acting is very good and the script comes across as very authentic, but it does go a bit too slow in places. There are a few very suspenseful moments. If you don’t like being left with unanswered questions, you may not like this one. For those who like a thoughtful take on significant historical events, it’s worth seeing.
