Schlitzie: One of Us (2018)
The rise and fall...and rise of Schlitzie, the lovable man-child performer from Tod Browning's cult film "Freaks." He lived to perform, until he was put in an institution and left to die. His persona earned him a place in Punk history when the Ramones recorded "Pinhead," dolls and jewelry were created in his image, and "American Horror Story: Freakshow" paid homage to him. According to sideshow lore, Schlitzie was one of the most beloved performers.

Simply Perfect
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
