CrimeDrama

Benning continues his examination of Americana in this film through the stories of two murderers. Ed Gein was a Wisconsin farmer and multiple murderer who taxidermied his victims in the 1950s. Bernadette Protti was a California teenager who stabbed a friend to death over an insult in 1984.

VIBE

A chilling, detached examination of American darkness. It feels like a cold, hard stare into the abyss, dissecting the mundane alongside the monstrous with an unnerving, almost academic, distance.
