Absolutely Fantastic
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
I've honestly watched it multiple times. Its quite the unique mixture of individuals that make up the Accidental Phenomenon. The tale of how everything came to be is both humorous and amazing. You will be laughing through the journey of odd characters and funny stories as the tale and dream of Hoodslam is brought to life before you very eyes. From the few people in a warehouse in Oakland California, to selling out multiple venues with over a thousand people. In my opinion to be a good documentary, it has to be informative and entertaining. I can assure you that this meets both requirements and then some. This is a must have for any real wrestling fan out there. I am happy to have it in my collection.
