Errol Morris's early documentaries delved deeply into mortality and morality with humor, but his recent film 'Separated' tackles a serious issue without that levity, reflecting a darker tone.
Morris presents figures within the Trump administration as both tough and cowardly, exposing a bureaucracy that relishes harsh policies but recoils from public backlash, highlighting moral contradictions.
The grimness of the subject matter in 'Separated' makes humor seem misplaced; it stands as a poignant critique of the emotional toll of separating migrant families during the Trump era.
In 'Separated', Morris's approach shifts to explore the consequences of political actions, pressing audiences to confront the implications of policies rather than relying on comedic relief.
