“This, the film says, is what it really feels like to be on the receiving end of the law in a case like this: a calm, professional, technocratic but relentless display of overwhelming power.”~Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Aroview: A potent chamber drama that re-enacts true events surrounding a government security breach related to Russian interference in the 2016 US election, based on transcripts of an actual FBI interrogation.

Director Tina Satter adapts her own stage play for the screen, and the material makes for an edge-of-your-seat docu-drama (aided by a thrillingly complex performance by Sydney Sweeney) while serving as a brutal indictment of the twisted new reality of American politics.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
4 stars (Very Good) Seriously weird doco-drama - I thought it a spoof at first!. Very creepy, with such subtle acting by Sydney Sweeney as a whistleblower. Real and gripping picture of the madness that is USA today. Highly recommended. ~Sandy
