The actors had good performances, but like many are saying, the story is very disjointed and all over the place. The lighting and color is great, but so much of the movie is shot in a medium shot along with odd clunky edits-also, the sound design... yikes. They also never really go into any details about the actual happenings of MK Ultra, the LSD mind control trials (other than giving patients LSD), and the true corruption of it all. It's as if they tried to wrap all of it up and get through every point in the last 15-20 minutes. A lot of things are presented and never explained later on. Like, they said at one point that a certain subject was promising and then literally never went into any more detail of them nor into the relationship between him and the doctor and why that's important. I feel like I just watched 90 minutes of random vignettes instead of a movie. We were really bummed since a good movie on MK Ultra could be awesome since it's such an interesting topic.
