Reviews
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
