Viewing Notes
Probably my least anticipated movie of the fest and one I actively tried to not see, but the scheduling dictated otherwise. I hesitate to even call this a documentary because it’s so slanted in a singular direction with no scientific inquiry to ground it. Couple that with some odd re-enactments (though admittedly some of that was fun and one or two downright creepy) and a weird decision to break the fourth wall multiple times in incongruous ways, and you end up with an interesting premise told poorly.
Probably the only movie of the fest I would actively tell people to not bother with.
