This feature length documentary really gets you thinking, it
fascinates, mind boggles and intrigues its audience. What makes it more compelling is that it is a
“true story” with members of the family involved playing there own roles.
The authenticity is not broken by the main character being
portrayed by a British actor. It is a
complete breakthrough performance by Adam O’Brian as the lead; he makes the
character so believable I had to wait for the credits to check he was not the
man involved as well.
The use of real film footage, interviews and recreations
ensure you are captivated for the whole 99mins.
Some may say this is a pointless exploitation of the story; however the
only way to enjoy this film is to go in with an empty and open mind. Try to avoid any reviews or conversations
about this film until after watching it.
If you know the “true” story already then this may disappoint.
It is a small budget indie film, that has not been
commercially successful despite being nominated and winning a number of
awards. Be prepared to be confused and
slightly disturbed.
