Good concept, poorly executed.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
