3 out of 5 Stars
Incredibly poetic cinematographry -- a very well made 'documentary' (though most of it uses actors) about an extremely disturbing and upsetting subject. I see why this film garnered such a reaction at Sundance and also received honors. At times I was queasy, at times I felt peaceful watching the images of the Washinton Mountains, but mostly, I felt like taking a shower when it ended to cleanse myself of watching 1 hour and 20 minutes about such an upsetting topic.

Okay, you were too cryptic, so I had to look it up.

My stomach turned reading the Wikipedia entry, so I don't think I'll see this film. Still, I can see why it's interesting that this seemingly-normal guy took this turn in his life.
Yeah, it's a really nauseating story but the director made a poetic and really beautiful documentary out of it.
