Seeking Mavis Beacon

Watched this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.

"Seeking Mavis Beacon" is a strange innovative documentary from filmmaker Jazmin Jones with interesting editing choices, conversations and the explores of finding someone who might not exist and technology. Jones provide some strong elements on humor, directing and visual presentation as it creates an engaging Gen-Z observation about Mavis Beacon and technology. Including good conversations from participants and individuals which was mixed of humor and insightful talks.

The documentary does loses its flow because there are too many ideas explored which causes pacing to feel slow and things to go all over the place. I wished the documentary didn't push many ideas together because it did feel a little unfocused through the second act. But as a whole, it still remained an interesting and quirky documentary.
