Viewing Notes

Michael gives us a detached, impersonal, camera’s eye view into the daily life of a pedophile who keeps a 10 year old boy locked in a basement room in his home while he goes about his otherwise, almost normal life.

If the subject matter doesn’t scare you away, Michael is actually a damn good movie, even humorous at times. I know that seems like a strange statement to make considering the subject, but it really is good and worth watching.
