From the moment I seen it on Netflix, it's been stuck replaying in my head. It has so much emotion. I will always remember the last scene. It's truly the most amazing film I have ever seen. I've told everyone that has Netflix to take the time to watch it. Even now I have watched it over a year ago and I am up at 4AM thinking about it. It compelled me to write this review. Seriously, watch it. You will not forget it. It will take you through so many twists and turns. You think you will know what'll happen, then it'll shock you to your very core. It's like listening to a song that gives you chills. Trust me, it is time well spent.

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this film. It really felt as a documentary on the beginning. The characters are really good - and work pretty damn well. I only noticed they were actors on the middle of the film, after the mother's interview. A thing that annoyed me was the part between the mother's interview and his final decision. It just felt off - annoying footage that did not add anything to the story. It felt quite fake and silly, in fact. Some other things start to scream "CHEAP MOVIE". They could have worked more on some of the story lines, such as the sister's reaction. About the ending... Better than I expected. Made me swear quite a bit. But it also made me really like the movie again. I almost gave up on the boxers part (seriously, no movie but American pie should be talking about boxer shorts for more than 1 minute. This movie spend at least 20 on that stupidity). Great mock-documentary, with interesting songs. If it was a bit more polished it would be on my top 10.

I thought this was a real documentary...towards the end, there was some character flaws, didn't seem right somehow...but still believable! In fact, it was so believable that I actually came on the internet to see if this was real or not...Well done!! Well done indeed. I wish I had thought of this myself. I can't believe I had not heard of this movie before and just happened to stumble on it on Netflix. I spent the whole time of the movie feeling sorry for Matt, and also the Mom for mortgaging her house for the movie. LOLBrilliant!! A MUST SEE!!!

Saw this movie in Calagary and it just made me mad that you can have all the talent in the world but if you have no money it's almost impossible to get your work seen. Take "A Necessary Death" for example. These guys have worked on this movie for three years (probably for very little or no money) and have created something that they can confidently show to anyone, while other movies are made for millions and are an embarrassment! I believe they are showing it at AFI next month so I am hoping something happens for them as I will definitely be taking my friends to see it if it ever gets released. These are the type of movies that inspire young film makers to try harder because it proves that if you have what it takes you can create wonderful work with very little resources. And to think I wasn't even meant to see this movie during the festival. I just liked the name!!!
