The best documentaries seek to teach us something about the human condition and Barbara Schroeder's TALLHOTBLOND does just that. Like the similar CATFISH, it explores the pitfalls of internet dating and the many lies and deceit behind the typical cyber relationship.
TALLHOTBLOND plays a lot like a Hollywood thriller: it's lean and terse, never outstaying its welcome, and it packs a number of twists worthy of M. Night Shyamalan. Sure, some of the editing decisions are a little odd - not least the 'beyond the grave' narration - but there's no denying the shocking, sad and disturbing events of the tale.
Most people see this as a simple documentary about murder, but they're missing the point entirely. It's a lesson in culpability.
