Review of Cropsey (2010) by Jonathan B — 05 Jun 2011
Superbly crafted documentary about the disappearance of children on Staten Island that tries to get to the bottom of the mystery. I think one of my favourite aspects of the film is that the creators try to stay as impartial as possible throughout the process and leave the conclusion upto the audience.
Is this about a sick demented child killer who is locked away for his crimes? Is it about a loner who conveniently fitted the bill of a 'weirdo' and was duly convicted before any trial even took place? Or is it about Societies failings and the consequences of the appalling treatment that some people suffer? The truth is we'll probably never know, the documentary touches on all these issues and presents a fairly balanced case for all possible outcomes.
