    Bought this hook line and sinker

    OK first calm down here those who yell fraud. I watched this and totally bought into the premise that this was a real documentary. When I found out it wasn't I still enjoyed the fact that I was duped and want to watch again to pick up on the clues I missed. I love me a good mockumentary!

    "Wreck" is Right

    I'll give kudos to the actual film crew for a cinematically beautiful piece of fiction, but anyone promoting this as a documentary should be sued for false advertising. While I'll admit that most of the actual sculptures are lovely pieces of art, the artist failed miserably to capture historical accuracy in the styles he attempted to replicate. The medusa head genuinely gave me the impression Harry Hamlin had just dropped it. If you like mockumentaries with good production quality, you might enjoy giving up an hour and twenty minutes of your life to this flick. Otherwise, don't waste your time.

    I was fooled...

    I totally believed it! I'm so gullible. I followed the whole thing to the end thinking that I'd one day go to Italy and see this exhibit. I'm such a dork!!

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME..............

    If I could give it negative star rating I would. For wasting my time. Sad because it's all fake. Like fake news on the net... you want to believe it but it's all made up and you initially look at it as true events until you dig around and find the truth.

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME..............

    NOT A DOCUMENTARY

    Though well done this is a fictional piece. All sculptures removed from the sea are created by the artist Damien Hurst. Do documentaries have to be based on fact? I feel they do but each to there own. I just don't think it should be branded Documentary.
