This is not a documentary and perhaps, therefore, it’s all the more powerful in its depiction of individual women on death row facing their final moments. The film never judges, nor does it disclose whether they are innocent or guilty. Its focus is entirely on the actual experience. As the film progresses, the next woman portrayed is closer to execution than the previous one, thus creating a rhythm and tension that draws us into this experience. A thought-provoking and riveting film.
