Lance Oppenheim directs Robert Pattinson, Merritt Wever and Skyler Gisondo in this true story about the rise and fall of the To Catch A Predator nonce hunting show.

Merritt Weaver rocks in this – funny but horrific. Pattinson channels Partridge – does America even know about the lift. Very Nightcrawler in tone and energy and morality. I love the corroded VHS colouring of it. Leaves you hanging though. We reach the forgone conclusion and it just cuts away. I think there is further drama in the fallout, drama we crave. Don’t make me have to read three pages of Wikipedia on the way home to get the full story.
