I cried, more than once. This is a very rare occurrence for me watching a film. Considering this was made by a "big-name" filmmaker, I was surprised to see the subtlety, honesty and roundedness.
This was the kind of documentary that rarely makes it into cinemas here (and it was released here 'theatrically'). They usually end up (like most of
the other great stuff being made) on BBC4 at midnight. It was comprehensive, beautifully structured and absolutely HUMAN.
So many documentary filmmakers are trying to be Michael Moore; why don't a few try to be more like Spike Lee?
