Atrocity (2024) dives deep into the gritty reality of homelessness in London, Ontario, all through the eyes of a retired police sergeant. It’s not your typical documentary; it has a raw, almost haunting quality to it. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the heavy themes of societal neglect and human resilience. There's a palpable sense of atmosphere, as the film captures not just faces but stories, often through intimate interviews. The practical effects are minimal, focusing on real-life interactions, which lends a striking authenticity. The retired sergeant's journey is emotional and at times heartbreaking, making the film distinct in how it portrays the complexity of its subject matter without sensationalizing it.
