FLINT: Who Can You Trust?

Ultimately, FLINT is real-life American horror at its most devastating and disappointing, as it provides no indication that either hope or human decency can prevail.

Overall, this documentary is an exercise in frustration – especially during the rushed final half hour, in which we dart about all over the place.

If the goal is to relay what a miasma of suspicion and despair the water crisis created, “Flint” certainly suggests that, if regrettably by being its own well-intentioned if messy, unilluminating chronicle.
