The movie should fascinate anyone interested in politics, publishing, and the uneasy marriage between big money and mass communication.
A documentary whose content might possibly have further reach than the book.
The film means to provoke a closer look at the faces of good and evil. It questions whether we really live in a world that can be divided neatly into black hats and white hats.
Although the term cinéma vérité is overused as a descriptor for documentaries, it applies here. The makers of Horns and Halos eschew the Michael Moore "poke 'em with a stick, let's watch 'em squirm" approach and wisely let the cameras roll, interspersing news footage with their own interviews.
What emerges is not only an Underdog v. Simon Bar Sinister saga but a fascinating character study.
Alternately fascinating and frustrating.
Fascinating and troubling documentary.
