About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re drawn to intimate documentaries about creativity as coping and don’t mind spending lots of time inside one person’s handmade world; Not for you if you want a faster pace or lighter themes, like Finding Vivian Maier.
Pros: moving recovery story; imaginative miniature world; compassionate, intimate access | Cons: slow, stretched runtime; unsettling sexual undertones; repetitive doll scenarios
