The Investigator

About This Movie

So, 'The Investigator' dives into some pretty heavy themes around identity and the military's stance on personal relationships. Set in '89, we follow Sergeant Caroline Meagher, a Royal Military Police officer, as she faces intense questioning about her sexuality, which could lead to a court martial. The film employs a mix of present-day interrogation scenes and flashbacks, creating this stark contrast that pulls you into her world. The pacing leans a bit slow at times, but it builds this palpable tension. The performances, especially from the lead, really ground the story, making you feel the weight of the accusations and the harsh atmosphere of military life during that time. It’s not your typical drama; there’s a rawness that’s kind of haunting. Definitely a unique piece from the era.
