Viewing Notes
CCFF Day 3, Film 2: The first miss for me at the festival. Surprising that Brian considered this the best documentary he saw at Sundance. It’s not bad but really doesn’t go beyond conveying the main issue i.e. never elevates the material than simply documenting it. By the end I was left with no sympathy for anyone. Not sure who I would recommend this to.
