Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Having begun filming the subject in 2002, and with a background in social work uniquely congruent with "his" background claims, Marjorie Sturm draws on a rich array of material to assemble a first documentary feature that's fascinating on numerous levels.
