Room 237 [2012] Dir: Rodney Ascher



I watched this last week and really found it quite tedious to watch. It had some slightly interesting things in it but overall it was a poorly made piece of work. I wouldn't class it as a true documentary because that would be insulting to the genre. It was annoying not to see any of the interviewees at all throughout the piece, and some of them were really talking out of their arse.

How this work made it into any film festival is beyond me, as is the high rating on Rotten Tomatoes. An overly generous...

  1. Complete fucking nut jobs with far too much free time, the lot of them. I gave it a 2, because it had a pretty good poster. The moon landing one was tackled in a doc from 2011 that's far more entertaining called ' Kubrick's Odyssey: Secrets Hidden in the Films of Stanley Kubrick; Part One: Kubrick and Apollo (2011) ' Here's the link
