Tickled is one of the most intriguing and strange documentaries I've seen in a while. This is a film about a journalist from New Zealand who stumbles on a weird website about "Competitive Endurance Tickling" and in doing so, inadvertently happens to uncover a very tangled and twisted plot of blackmail and threats, reaching far beyond investigating a strange youtube video and the production company behind it and others like it. This is super fascinating and bizarre. 4/5

Spotlight is a strong Hollywood slow-burn ensemble thriller about the Boston Globe's Spotlight team who uncovered the Catholic Chuch's Sex Abuse scandal in Boston in the late 90s and early 2000s. This is a well-written film with a great cast rounded out by Stanley Tucci, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Liev Schrieber, and Rachel McAdams. Truly, it is difficult to make an exciting film about paperwork. So much paperwork. Todd McCarthy does well here. I appreciate that Spotlight focuses on the team and their work instead of on the salacious details of the scandal, the priests, and the survivors. 4/5 |
