I knew that it was a true crime story, but hadn't heard anything about the experimental nature of the filmmaking, which I think works beautifully. There are several amazingly serendipitous bits of documentary footage, and the use of non-actors gives it a strong sense of reality that combines seamlessly with staged scenes. There are a lot of sequences that combine documentary shots, scripted lines, and improvisation (particularly by the child actors) in a fascinating way. It's too bad more filmmakers aren't willing to trust their actors and environment like Niskanen has in this film. Loved this movie.</p>
