    I heard about the scandal involving the USA gymnastics team doctor abusing female gymnasts when it first became public, but I didn't read much into it at the time. If you were like me, this is the perfect documentary for you. It covers the whole story in detail, and my goodness is it a frustrating one.

    The many revelations about Nassar have already been widely reported, but Carr’s film, which is also available on HBO, works as a worthwhile précis, featuring interviews with many of the women who came forward.

    Yet by turning the documentary into such a powerful forum for the resolve and resilience of these young women, Carr, in filmmaking terms, really sticks the landing.

    A compellingly woven true-crime primer that serves both the gist of what happened while exploding your consciousness over what needs to be done in the future.
