I thought it was good.... entertaining and all.... then I moved on. Is all good though. In terms of the psychological effectiveness of the film making, documentary style, it's was very well done. It would be tragic if all films followed this formula (as many have tried and failed), but for what it is, it's a gem in it's genre.
