It’s wonderfully done — so sad and uncomfortable to watch, but unadorned and straightforward and captivating from the first minute. I liked Hoop Dreams a lot — it’s the same guy — but I didn’t appreciate James’s skill as a filmmaker as much as I did here. I still can’t quite pinpoint what irritated me about Bowling For Columbine, but whatever it is, it’s utterly absent here; James is the opposite of Moore in his approach. I don’t prefer one to the other, but it’s an interesting contrast. (2/17/04)
