Sundance 2022

I knew nothing about this film going into it. I picked it solely because Alan Cumming was in it. I did not realize it was a documentary, nor did I know that Alan Cumming would be lip-syncing the entire performance. That being said, I loved this. It’s more or less a glorified episode of a “Dateline” or any of those other TV News Magazines. But it has a unique mix of animation, talking heads, and the aforementioned lip-synced performance from Cumming. Plus, it’s almost exclusively Scottish accents from start to finish, which I could listen to all day. I think this is best enjoyed going in blind, as even reading the synopsis takes away some of the enjoyment of the mysteries playing out. Maybe it’s just me, but the documentaries at Sundance never seem to disappoint.
