Devil's Advocate?

About This Movie

So, you’ve got to check this one out. 'Devil's Advocate?' dives into a pretty heavy subject matter—Patty Burgus's lawsuit against Bennett Braun. It’s framed through Dateline, which gives it this almost unsettling journalistic lens, pulling you into the real-life complexities of Dissociative Identity Disorder. The pacing feels methodical, almost clinical at times, but it does a good job of building tension around the debates happening in mental health circles. And the interviews—they’re raw and revealing, showcasing the perspectives of those involved in the case. It almost feels like a documentary that’s not just telling a story, but challenging you to think about the implications of these psychological theories and their impacts on real lives.
