The first thing to note about this title, is that it's so entertaining it doesn't feel like a documentary.
Morris very effectively uses a great deal of stock footage (circus footage mainly), to break up the four interviews. Cheesy though it may be, the footage of Clyde Beatty is amusing and all footage is well placed to illustrate Morris' not-so-underlying themes.
Morris unashamedly puts across pre-meditated themes, bending the interviews to his will. Nonetheless, these ideas are worth consideration, and the interviews don't come across as contrived, just heavily edited (admittedly, some simple questions are left unanswered)... but let's face it, even Reality TV isn't real, right??
Well worth the watch.
