This 'documentary' lifts all the home-bred editing techniques from Tarnation, and THAT wasn't even as great a film as people made it out to be. Cue indie guitar rock with a nostalgic tone, "iMovie" cue cards over nostalgic long lost photos, break cue cards into poetic nostalgic 'faux' symbolic sentences, follow a loser over his loser life as he wallows in nostalgic introspective narrative. Did I mention he was addicted to drugs? Argh, frustrating. Nobody really picked up on the glaring similarities, and the documentary was highly acclaimed and picked for the Jury Prize at Sundance, but I've had it up to here (imaginary line made with hand well above head level) with self righteous drug documentaries, no matter how hidden the self righteousness is. Tarnation was terrible in the same way.
