This is a reasonable documentary, nothing revolutionary. It doesn't contain anything fans don't know. The editing isn't great, frequently they leave the narrators mistakes and/ or restarts in which is annoying and should have been picked up.

All in all there's a lot of "allegedly", a psychologist giving his repetitive thoughts on why Eminem did what he did and how he felt, and basically one interview Eminem did decades ago interspersed with stock images and footage when the (random) interviewed "specialists" aren't talking about eminems music and life.

It's basically a fan film, and is fine to kill some time if you're bored, but isn't ground breaking.

If you have ever had someone tell you horror stories about the treatment of animals on farms, furnishing said animals with human understanding & feeling, then you don't need to watch this film.

A feature length Meat is Murder advert, it takes every cliche about farming and jams it into a frankly boring horror film with zero horror. Attempted shock factor not withstanding. The fact that all the bad guys wear animal masks as they go about their business is completely on the nose. The characters are awful, and I couldn't even muster an ounce of sympathy for them.

Not even slightly recommended, and frankly it should never have been made.

I'm not a huge found footage fan, generally because of the premise leading to the filming. This one seemed promising, kids making a video diary for sick parents in hospital. Initially it wasn't bad, but about half way through there's an art house fever dream & nothing is really right from there. It 90% abandons the found footage idea, making it disjointed and illogical, with a weak semi explanation. It throws random ideas at the wall & includes what sticks, even if it doesn't make sense. It does try to explain things but even the explanation is weak & illogical. Like grasping at straws because they needed an ending.

Don't even get me started on the other, background story, which frankly wasn't utilised the way it could have been. It was there for... Drama? To throw us off? I don't know.

This script needed a few more goes over by an editor to make it cohesive & picking a genre to stick with would have helped a lot.

Disappointing all round.
