What starts out as a tale of serial killing quickly becomes even more sinister and complex.

This is a hugely ambitious piece of work that packs a cumulative wallop when it’s all over.

If you think you are willing to start this journey across years of vile behavior, innocence lost, and true tragedy then go all the way. You won’t regret it.

TOP CRITIC
On its own, each film hauntingly creates a murk of collusion, pervasive corruption, and 57 varieties of predation.

This is the sort of undertaking the UK’s Channel 4 excels at, and is approached in the United States only by ambitious cable TV series.

Red Riding Trilogy, with its remarkable performances, its brilliantly constructed puzzle, its dispiriting cycles of violence, isn’t an easy ride. But it is an exhilarating one.

Red Riding is not to be grasped, followed, or understood-that’s why you need to see it.

Thematically adventurous…the bloody shocks that paint the town Red emerge from suburban squalor: dirty streets, dirty crimes, and dirty politicians. [Blu-ray]

You’ll have to work to get the most out of ‘Red Riding,’ but if you are as diligent as Piggot, the mystery is worth it.

Plot
In 1974, Eddie Dunford, comes home from South England and gets a job as a cub reporter for the Yorkshire Post. A schoolgirl has gone missing, and Eddie suspects it’s one of several crimes dating back six years; the police think not and blame gypsies. Eddie digs; the police stonewall him then two of them beat him after he visits the widowed mother of one of the girls missing for a few years. When a child’s body turns up at a construction site of local building magnate John Dawson, Eddie has another thread to pull. By now, he’s begun an affair with Paula, the widowed mother, and he suspects collusion among Dawson, the police, and his newspaper – but what are they covering up?
