CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS (2003)

EW's GRADE
A

Details Limited Release: May 30, 2003; Rated: Unrated; Length: 107 Minutes; Genre: Documentary; Distributor: Magnolia Pictures

It may be the most haunting documentary since Crumb. In 1987, Arnold Friedman, a mousy computer teacher in Great Neck, Long Island, is accused of molesting and raping dozens of boys. Gripping, moving, and tragic.
