The glowing reviews show that this is a "brave" documentary that peels back layers of humanity to pursue a man's dream of creating a documentary about Larry Lang and his famous onion rings.
What I found was a tale of a narcissistic filmmaker that manipulates a man to fit his narrative so he can finish a project and make a profit. I was fine with the subject matter, and I kept holding out to find some redemption for Zachary Capp (the filmmaker and co-star) as a human. Unfortunately, there was no redemption, no remorse, no apologies, ... nothing. This film was borderline unethical to film, and hard to watch with any sort of conscious.
The film was edited and shot well, with few complaints of the overall cinematography. I wish I could say the same about the narrative and overall character of the filmmaker.
This film was overall thought provoking. The hate and animosity that builds for the filmmaker is powerful, but not redeeming enough to warrant a higher review.
