The "sequel" of sorts to McElwee's brilliant "Sherman's March" as he continues to film his life, only now things have really changed: he gets married and he has a son. All of this makes him question many things: his mortality, what is important, true love, fidelity, lineage and he does it brilliantly. I've always enjoyed the form of documentary filmmaking but so many of them are bad, sloppy and rambling, but somehow, McElwee's always seems to avoid that. This is a terrific film and something worth renting (especially if you are a newlywed or just had your first child).
