Thought Crimes

About This Movie

Thought Crimes is a fascinating dive into the psyche of Gilberto Valle, the so-called 'Cannibal Cop.' It juxtaposes the macabre elements of his alleged fantasies with a broader commentary on the implications of thought-policing in society. The documentary navigates through chilling interviews, court transcripts, and even Valle's own reflections, creating a tense atmosphere that's both unsettling and thought-provoking. The pacing keeps you engaged, as it oscillates between the dark humor found in the absurdity of his case and the serious implications it might have for freedom of thought. It’s raw, unfiltered, and definitely not for the faint of heart. The way it uses real footage and court documents gives it an authenticity that's hard to shake off.
