It's a work.
20 August 2019
The doc is a work. If you're not familiar with the term, it means you're being played. Director Berman, as many have stated before, has made it all about himself. Funny he's blurred in the title card, as he appears unobstructed in about 80% of the shots. But worse still is that about a quarter of the way in, it became obvious to me that he was in on the prank. The whole thing feels like an con job cooked up by Ben and Jonathan. I came for inside look at one of my favorite childhood performers, I left with a lot less respect for the meth addict he is and the director who thought this drivel qualified as "gonzo journalism." Hunter S. Thompson he is not.
