Extremely well assembled, feels more like watching the latest A24 than a documentary. We're so used to documentaries breaking the fourth wall but that never happens here, it's edited like a regular narrative film. There's also no narration or handholding, it very much lets the viewer draw their own conclusions. They cast some really interesting individuals so I experienced a wide range of emotions watching this. Besides being very thought provoking it's cynical, humorous, sad and shocking. The different storylines complement each other well and paint a picture of its subject that feels complete and honest. Nevertheless, there are a few moments where the approach holds it back, such as a couple of scenes that are obviously scripted, which to me take away from the naturalistic approach. Nitpicks aside, this is a pretty amazing documentary. Highly recommended.
8.5/10
