    Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project

    ★★★

    Marion and her work are incredible. It’s strongest when it’s letting Marion and her tapes really speak. Some powerful moments in there, notable the 9/11 multi-station sequence. And too many brilliant clips from Marion’s TV program. This is a really interesting story but this doc plays it super safer formally; very traditional interviews and narrative approach.

    Camera work was great but it missed the mark for me, big time. I cannot see the hype whatsoever. Would it help if I cared about tennis?

    No steam
    No chemistry
    No drama

    What everyone will be talking about at the kombucha cooler on Monday morning.

    If there is a class analysis in this movie it has all the subtlety of a Minotaur statue in a hedge maze. 
     
    Definitely beautiful and shiny though. What it lacks in depth it tries to make up for in shock.
