When I first watched this documentary, I must admit that I was expecting, (as I often am as a woman) to feel somewhat disconnected from the three male "protagonists"; however, this film won me over with its stark originality and ultimate subject matter: the empowerment one feels when he or she begins to live an authentic life. Filmmaker Jessica Yu creatively juxtaposes the fascinating stories of three men, who tried to live false lives, with scenes from Greek tragedy effectively told through puppetry. Important viewing for anyone who is on a journey to discover their life purpose or even just to find out who they truly are.
115 minutes. Rated R for language.
