Freaks & Errors: A Rare Collection (2017)
Disagree with previous review.
I always find it amazing that people can see two completely different sides of a coin. I think I, like many fans of docs, watch them because we like to learn about topics we have absolutely no knowledge about. The only thing I knew about "Philately" - a word I learned from the film, is that stamp collecting was a hobby that existed. Who collected stamps or what the value of stamps could be and etc? No idea. But I came away with a fun and informative watch which in absolutely no way (IMHO) is belittling to anyone or insinuates them being socially deficient, nor did I pick up on any nasty tone whatsoever.
I wonder if being an avid member of a given subculture might make people judge any outside perspective on that subculture prematurely harshly. Giving a one star rating seems like unless the people portrayed in this doc somehow came away with superhuman powers, this film was going to be reviewed poorly.
End of the day, I enjoyed the film!
