Wow, that's pretty incredible. I can't believe not one critic would give it a negative review. Not that I would have, but I still don't think it was a perfectly perfect film in every way. Nobody had a hang up with reenactments, for example?
I dare say that the documentary that I saw this past Thursday night at the Cinema Village in Manhattan actually edges out MAN ON WIRE as the best doc of 2008.
DEAR ZACHARY: A LETTER TO A SON ABOUT HIS FATHER is emotionally overwhelming but it's skillfully and passionately crafted. And it's superlative 97% at RT shows it's right up there too.
Due to a recent Federal Trade Commission decision, I think it best to reveal that, yes, I receive free admission to most of the films that I review. This is the standard practice among film reviewers, and it does not affect my opinion. Unless noted otherwise, you should assume that I received free admission. I have never been on a junket and I do not plan to start. Although in the future, it is possible that I might decide to start interviewing actors, directors, etc.
