I've been trying to see this film, but my friend wanted me to see it with her, so I've been waiting.  has anyone else seen this yet?

[Stefen]

Your friend has, and so have i. Today, it was good, from the parts that I was able to watch.

[Ghostboy]

Yeah, it's really good. I've read a few reviews that criticize the filmmaker for lionizing herself onscreen and relegating the kids' mothers to offscreen one dimensional obstacles - and to an extent, that's true, and in the latter comment's case, unfortunately so. Still, what she does accomplish is wonderful, and it's a wonderful documentary overall.
