This is without a doubt one of the greatest films I have ever seen. It does what many other films don't - it engages you. This film also further proves that great documentaries are far better than most fictionalized films. Micheal Apted's "Up Documentaries"; Jeffery Blitz's "Spellbound"; Errol Morris' "Gates of Heaven"; Louis Pepe & Keith Fulton's "Lost in la Mancha" are just 4 other documentaries that I have had the privilege to view. Like "The Five Obstructions" I felt engaged in what the films were saying and in a move far better than any average Hollywood studio project after seeing each film I felt like a better person for doing so.
