, such that

Not only is the past never dead, but the film keeps repeating issues of not just am I my brother's keeper, but the sins of the father are revisited on the sons, such that it's important to keep watching even as the credits start to appear at the end (there was much shouting when some folks got up to leave too soon, blocking cryptic clues to those behind them).

I have extracted some from the one of reviews of the movie "Caché" on IMDB.
I'd like to know what role ",such that" plays in my example.
Thank you in advance for your help.
