Will You Look Away?

A film that is both chilling yet gripping. Juliette Gariépy plays Kelly-Anne, a model and tech wizard who is highly invested in the trial of alleged serial killer Ludovic Chevalier (Maxwell McCabe-Lokos). She also becomes attached to Clementine (Laurie Babin), who is enthralled by Chevalier far past the point of devotion into near madness. But the crux of the film is Kelly-Anne's fascination with the final victim, a 13-year-old girl, her family and a supposed dark web tape of her gruesome murder. Nothing is shown, but you can hear certain parts of the other victims - also teen girls - and it's enough to turn your stomach - unlike our protagonist who shows no emotion when discussing or viewing the material. While the end may seem to somewhat redeem the main character, it's also obvious she is suffering from some deep psychological issues and may not be as far removed from the person on trial. It's both grim yet fascinating and may make you question just why YOU watch all those true crime stories out there.
