What carries it is the acting: transformative, unglamorous performances that make you understand exactly how each person talked themselves into disaster.
the transformative lead performances that make an unglamorous true crime story feel devastatingly human.
you want fast pacing, since it lingers on grim, unhurried detail for most of its runtime.
