It's not what you think.

I thought this documentary was well done but the end just feels empty. By the time the documentary is done, you have only learnt a bit about what is going on behind the scenes but it lacks resolve even in the most basic sense so it was good and I would say worth a watch but don't expect a big ending or anything apart from "okay we know what actually goes on behind the scenes of this organization".
Boy what a creepy movie. Don't wanna spoil anything but there is more to this movie than just a tickle ring. This was laugh out loud sometimes but awkward laughs. First time at the Sundance Cinemas, what a great theater. Nice cool AC, ample armrests and cup holders, fancy snackbar and only 21+!! Loved it. Great pick of indie films too.
Rarely is a documentary so delightfully unpredictable and just straight up bizarre.
Well, this sure tickled my interest. This investigative journalism doc plays out a lot like David Fincher-esque thriller, but it also finds the absurdity and humour in its own subject matter. The unfolding of new events is handled really well, much like the journalists you’re constantly guessing what’s going on. The answers that we get during the third act are very satisfying; when reading between the lines I think that the final conversation between David and the grandmother connects all of the dots that have been laid down in front of us. I also like that it takes its time to explore and inform about this fetish and the business behind it. It’s weird and bizarre, but pretty harmless all things considered. Technically, it’s well paced and shot, though on a few occasions I found the editing to be overdramatic. There are also some moments where the editing seems unsure what to show, so you get a few too many generic cityscape shots. These are minor complaints though, this is a memorable documentary with a unique tone that’s sure to shock, inform, entertain and horrify. Don’t look up too much before seeing it. 8/10 P.s.: There's a fascinating 20 minute follow-up to this documentary which can be found here: https://youtu.be/K88xF9mOUjc?si=F1VSvmwJKlje2zVe
