The Teller and the Truth

Nicely composed score and beautifully filmed quasi documentary that basically glorifies an antisocial protagonist -Oliver who loved his dog the way Tony Soprano loved children and geese- and a histrionic partner who might have been a victim herself. The narrative does not express any remorse for people who suffered from this couple actions simply because they were conservative and short minded folks from a small town in Texas. This narrative is single minded, too romanticized, and somehow ignorant. I could not believe that we had to watch 40 minutes of this soap opera to realize the. director's fantasies of creating a hallow version of Bonny and Clyde.

As the other reviewer mentioned, the film narrative is a mess and montage is a disaster. I liked the music and cinematography, so 4 stars for that.
