Fantastic Fungi (2019)
Very so-so
I don't know... Some interesting facts here in the first 20 minutes or so but afterwards it just turns into some sort of canonisation of magic mushrooms. It might be, of course, that there are vast possibilities for fungi doing really great things, but if this documentary is dealing with these things it should concentrate on THEM, not on the people producing, selling, and using them. What do I know after watching this? There's a great mass of mushrooms in this world doing marvellous things. There are people studying them in a scientific environment. There are people making money off them. The problem is that the focus is too much on the people and not on fungi. I got very bored with this mushroom guy at last and I was happy when it ended.
Still, it's very watchable for the really stunning visuals.
