Elisabeth Finch's journey from celebrated writer to pariah is told through a series of interviews, which at times feels disjointed. The film does a decent job of highlighting the emotional fallout of her lies, yet it sometimes lacks the punch needed to keep viewers fully engaged. While the performances are solid and the subject matter intriguing, the pacing drags in parts, leaving me wanting more depth in the exploration of Finch's motivations. It's an interesting watch, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark. Show less
