Positives:

• Excellent cinematography

• Intriguing colors

• Impressive camera movements

• Very likable fonts

• Love the shot choices including closeups and tracking

• Not bad performances

• Interesting moral and ethical code of this story

Negatives:

• A little too loud, since it is very hard to hear the dialogue, that is why the movie makes it way hard to hear.

• Not very much depth into details

• Not much footage from the actual show

• Minor lack of source material

• Not really much of a resolution with Chris Hansen at the end

• Hasn't been much of a documentary, so it feels more like a Nicholas Cage movie
