It’s a fascinating look not only at this particular character and his wide reach, but at the evolution of the Internet, its utopian possibilities for connection, and the dark side of its power to expose and harm individuals within the system. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

An alarming cautionary tale about how easy it is in the Internet age to ruin people’s lives while hiding behind a cloak of anonymity, the pic boasts a humorously titillating entry hook that soon gives way to engrossing conspiracy-thriller-like content. Read full review

Time Out London Kate Lloyd

The documentary twists and turns like a guy getting his armpits tickled, but its driving force is Farrier’s personal determination to reveal the manipulation of the athletes involved. It’s unexpected and brilliant. Read full review

All the same, Tickled does shine a much-needed light on that individual’s long history of abusive behavior, which has resulted in only a light slap on the wrist, thanks to inherited wealth and the power it confers. Read full review

This is actually insane. Everyone and I mean everyone should watch this because it is a sobering reminder that there are people like in the world. I won’t spoil the plot because half the impact but take this information with you as you watch.

Fascinating, shocking, upsetting, certainly entertaining. Unless you watch it you won't know how it's not only about a fetish but about brave journalism and the rich villains of this world.
