This one I've already reviewed on the blog (at this here link here) but it's worthwhile talking about again as an extraordinarily piece, mixing elements of doco and drama in director Sean Baker's inimitable style mixing professional and non-professional actors in a piece about people living on the edge of poverty and sometimes falling over, against the background of the ultimate in American leisure. It's beautiful and sad and funny and outraging. Willem Dafoe slips into the cast mix as naturally as every other performer, and this builds to a climax both hopeful and devastating in the temporary nature of the joy it provides.
