Detailed Critic & Audience Reviews

The BEST 5 hours of my life.
I had so many questions going into this documentary and half of them were answered while replaced by other questions.
There were details brought to my attention that I had NEVER noticed and therories that I had never considered.

If you are a fan of the film I highly recommend watching this documentary. Insight after insight from cast and crew make you reconsider the theories you had and will perhaps reaffirm them...or totally crush them.

10/10...
