Bridgend

Intriguing documentary about the titular South Wales town, which is haunted by being the location where dozens of people have been found hanged since 2007. Interviews include family members and friends, but the most interesting input is given by the coroner and two tattoo artists who own a studio where loved ones come to get inked tributes. There are moments that feel like bad taste; particularly, a hangman game title card, as well as director Williams putting himself in the spotlight towards the end a little too frequently—more importantly, the director's claim that there were already 50+ dead before the documentary crew arrived doesn't change the fact that this film could still play a part in the media's sensationalizing.
