Review of The Flaw

The Flaw (2011)
10/10
Brilliant; the experts were all correct, and the film put it all together by the end of the show.

Warning: Spoilers
At the start of the film, there is no clear POV (point of view). Instead, the problem is approached in the style of showing each of ten blind men a different piece of an elephant. It takes some work to get the data returned by the blind men into something overarching and coherent, such as a single 3-d model of the elephant which explains all reportage.

Brilliant; the experts were all correct, and the film put it all together by the end of the show.

Cinematography: 8/10 The archival footage is not all that good. The modern interviews were crisp and well-done.

Sound: 8/10 Almost everyone is properly miked. The archival footage of Greenspan versus Waxman in the House hearings was weak.

Screenplay: 10/10 Obviously had a lot of careful thought. This is so well done that it moves well even with the large amount of detail and history being conveyed.
