Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Best movie of this year hands down!

Absolutely Fantastic

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The title, the trailer añd the marketing blurb lead me to believe that this was a drama in fact I was even misled by IMDb which places it as a drama. Netflix advertises it as a major new drama.unfortunately it is one long boring interview with a decrepit old nobody from nowhere that nobody heard of talking about nothing of its nobody is interested.dull boring unnecessary Avoid

I can't recommend this film highly enough. It fully engrossed me. The hybrid of drama and documentary served the story in a organic and mind blowing way. The documentary story of a man digging for the truth about his father and the effect that that search for truth has had on his life while the dramatization of his fathers story unfolds was powerful and painfully thought provoking. The cinematography and the production design were breath taking! Peter Sarsgaard's performance was award worthy -- his performance broke my heart. Man. Errol Morris has delivered a film like nothing I have seen before. And his unique way of telling this story does not serve him as a director but rather the story -- the complexity of shots and hybrid story telling is organic and sincere.

Got three episodes in then had to turn this snoozefest off... probably around the time the same "shaky cam gas mask dudes" and "purple filter spiders crawling around" vignettes were rolled out to fill another interminable 10 unnecessary minutes of what is, in reality, a very interesting 60 minute story dragged out for 6 freaking hours. ... and it's actually super interesting. Hope that helps someone else!

Wormwood series are a true events portrayed in documentary and fiction form - rather original, btw - about the suspicious death of Frank Olson, a CIA scientist in 1953. The documentary addresses topics related to the Cold War as conspiracy, lies, use of biological weapons and govern secrets; but the main drama, and here there is a psychological background in the series, is the trauma caused to the victim's family. The style as it unfolds the facts is somewhat slow, and at few times boring, but generally very well told. It pays to watch.
