I think when someone spends nine years and interviews over 150 people, they shouldn’t really limit themselves to ONE documentary about their subject. Every topic the movie introduced brought up many questions that were not answered and that resulted in an incredibly frustrating semi-portrait of the recluse-when-it-was-convenient-author. Also, having so few pictures of the subject meant that they repeated themselves a lot with images, which was distracting.
Cost: $9.00
Where watched: Living Room Theater, with Kelly.

Yet another movie I hadn't heard of. I'm sorry it was a disappointment!
I hate a bad movie that brings more questions than answers. THis is especially so with a documentary! Too bad!
