7/10. Interesting, engaging documentary about a middle class Jewish family
gone into turmoil when the father and youngest son are accused of
sexually abusing many young kids. This tears the family apart. It's
very two-sided, with lots of the information almost contradicting
each other, and many different talking heads with their two cents
throwing information. However, first-time director Andrew Jarecki (co-
creator of MovieFone) tries too hard to keep this objective, and it
becomes irritating after awhile. It would have been a little better
if he had leaned towards one side at times. Still, it opened my eyes
to a decaying family and how just an accusation can tear a family
apart.
