Showcases Villeneuve’s usual brilliant and thoughtful craftsmanship, with a unique approach that makes the film beautiful and human without rendering the depicted events any less horrifying. Builds tension impeccably, and uses ingenious editing to preserve a sense of disorientation—allowing the film to document true events without creating a detached feeling of simply cataloguing twenty minutes of carnage.
