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