Uncomfortable and endearing. Delicately handled. The world is a strange place.
There are broken people everywhere. Somehow, they/we find a way to carry on. Some better than others. The two people here could have given up. Instead, they found a way, their own ways to go on with their lives, despite the loneliness, unfulfilled dreams and ridicule. They are deluded, yet they still believe their fantasies will come true. Is that dogged determination? Is that plain old insanity? Can we know? I found no happiness here. Hopefully, the subjects of this doc find some of their own. I didn't see it on the screen. I know I could not have made this doc, far too depressing for me. There are broken people everywhere.
Thought-provoking doc on the obsession fans can possess toward a media star. Fascinating!
I agree with Kitty. The world is very large.
Deft direction of delicate and intriguing subject matter
cool story
i imagine this is the kind of movie that gets a lot of different reactions from people. for me, it was difficult and complexly sad in ways that are hard to summarize. given the ephemerality and general cheesiness of tiffany as a pop sensation, it's something of a shock how genuine these people are, and the filmmakers do take advantage of how beyond-shame their obsessions have become. that said, it's intensely empathetic and does not end up feeling as exploitative or mean-spirited as it might seem at first. unforgettable and definitely at home in the "cult" section...
Odd film, but well done.
