Steineded How sad is this?

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

jacquelinewrite I can't recommend this film highly enough. It fully engrossed me. The hybrid of drama and documentary served the story in a organic and mind blowing way. The documentary story of a man digging for the truth about his father and the effect that that search for truth has had on his life while the dramatization of his fathers story unfolds was powerful and painfully thought provoking. The cinematography and the production design were breath taking! Peter Sarsgaard's performance was award worthy -- his performance broke my heart. Man. Errol Morris has delivered a film like nothing I have seen before. And his unique way of telling this story does not serve him as a director but rather the story -- the complexity of shots and hybrid story telling is organic and sincere.

jc1201 Got three episodes in then had to turn this snoozefest off... probably around the time the same "shaky cam gas mask dudes" and "purple filter spiders crawling around" vignettes were rolled out to fill another interminable 10 unnecessary minutes of what is, in reality, a very interesting 60 minute story dragged out for 6 freaking hours. ... and it's actually super interesting. Hope that helps someone else!

manoelacanova Wormwood series are a true events portrayed in documentary and fiction form - rather original, btw - about the suspicious death of Frank Olson, a CIA scientist in 1953. The documentary addresses topics related to the Cold War as conspiracy, lies, use of biological weapons and govern secrets; but the main drama, and here there is a psychological background in the series, is the trauma caused to the victim's family. The style as it unfolds the facts is somewhat slow, and at few times boring, but generally very well told. It pays to watch.

bshaef I made it through the first episode on my second try but gave up after the second episode was even more boring. I'm sure there's a good story in this somewhere but the director and actors didn't tell it in this vehicle. In my books it ranks right up there with The English Patient, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind and Mr. Robot as the alltime boring put-me-to-sleep shows.
