And it provides some answers to what might happen if you went home with a Jerry Springer guest.
A documentary that lacks the polish of Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine, but provides great insight into parts of the USA and how to raise children. This goes into the history archives. It should become a part high-school history courses.
I had the great fortune of seeing this the same day before I saw Gummo http://us.imdb.com/Title?0119237 (the two go together so well that if it had been one movie, I'd give it a 10).
The drawbacks? Very little polish. No soundtrack or FX to reinforce important moments.
Even though it may seem like its long, you'll leave the theater wishing there had been more. Although it's raw footage, it's put together well and there aren't blurry or bumpy shots. Because its done in what amount to movie snapshots, its a little hard to get into initially. But that goes away within 15 minutes and you're drawn into the tunnel of Stevie's life and, surprisingly, the life of the film maker.
