Idea 8, Execution 3

Take a good idea. Have the first 10 minutes be excellent.

Then, delve into family self-created angst, re-creations that serve no purpose but indulgent drivel, make it all about the producer, have editing done by someone with software and no ability to edit, and extended periods of goofy plays where Melville is a woman, and street gangs unable to conquer English and acting.

All-in-all, a high-school over-wrought class play pretending to be intellectual, but coming across like country-club elitists where appearance is more important that substance.

Good literature takes one out of themselves. Bad documentaries focus on navel-gazing. This is navel-gazing tripe.

Such promise, but ultimately so disappointing.
