    Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke

    Glad Shari is advocating for this heinous practice of family vlogging to end, and just based on what I’ve hear from fellow filmmakers in Utah, really hope there is an expose docuseries about Ninja Kidz

    Perfect movie to show my three year old — beautiful, sophisticated, gentle, slow, curious, and at moments transcendent. My only qualm is that cat ends up in the water far too often.

    True messiah or false prophet, it doesn’t matter — through perfect visuals, this film conveys the divine tragedy of how power and prophecy are achieved.

    “Innocence of Muslims” but for Mormons.

    Was very curious about what promised to be an interesting and provocative perspective. However, it just turned out to be an assembly of poor taste punch-downs on a religious minority and endless banal references to itself. 

    Can’t decide which was more unfunny—the filmmaker or his hate speech.
