A Brilliant Conflict

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I'm writing at the end of a series of "Fire", in which a debatable incident of sexual harrasment causes division and strife within the fire station. It was a very thoughtful treatment of the problem of sexual harrasment, one that proposed no simplistic solutions and was balanced and gripping. The performances by the crew in the entire series were believable.
