I was fortunate enough to watch this in an intimate setting with an introduction by Kirby himself. I have never responded so much to a move than this one.
I gave it a 10 because i could not find anything the movie lacked. The way it portrayed the main character, Bob Flanagan, in such a real way was just good. It didn't sway from the point, it didn't have useless commentary like other documentary style movies, and it wasn't ever, ever boring. The vivid images that go uncensored on the screen will make you cringe, laugh, and cry all within a few moments. I am glad i took the time to see this. Rent it soon.
