I LOVED Foster but this… it just didn’t hit the way I wanted it to.

I think that the subjects were interesting, but I would have preferred the story told in a longer form.

The commentary on turning a blind eye was good though and timely. Can you call yourself a good person while turning a blind eye to the suffering and abuse of others? Can you live with yourself knowing you could do more?
