‘Newtown’ – a grief and despair so massive

From Margaret Lyons over at the NYTimes “Watching”

‘Newtown’
When to watch: 9 p.m., on PBS (check local listings).

Prepare to be emotionally ruined by this unfussy, devastating documentary about the Sandy Hook school shooting, in which Adam Lanza murdered 20 children and 6 adults after also murdering his mother. The doc captures a grief and despair so massive that there’s no getting over it or getting through it; the parents and children and teachers and rescue workers will just be in it, forever.
