The Nightcrawlers is a gripping documentary that dives deep into the gritty underbelly of Manila, capturing the raw emotions and stark realities faced by those documenting the war on drugs under Duterte. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to absorb the weight of each moment, each story. What strikes me is the way the filmmakers allow the Nightcrawlers to narrate their own experiences; it feels intimate, yet harrowing. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as you see firsthand the impact of violence on the streets. It’s not just facts; it’s the human stories that resonate. The cinematography gives it a gritty realism, making it distinctive in how it portrays the struggle, danger, and resilience of those involved.
