Okay. Well, I lied.

Reality – 4/5

Masterclass in acting by the three main leads in a great one-room play that is also perhaps the best procedural drama I've ever seen. You know where it's going throughout and, without anyone raising their voice or creating undue tension, everything comes together and/or falls apart depending on your particular outlook. It's just a few questions and a fading confidence. Throughout, and particularly at the end, the filmmakers try to make more out of what's happening through clever tricks and it only speaks to a lack of confidence in what the actors left in the room. As with the lack of escalation, nothing more was needed.
