The Brink (2019)
3/10
I don't know what I was expecting. I was really bored.

When they say fly in the wall (in the description), they weren't kidding. The documentary goes from event to event with some of Bannon's thoughts, many of the shots don't frame him in a flattering light and the documentarian sometimes has conversations with him in which she challenges him ... but there's no coherent narrative. And maybe that is a useful piece of media in it's own right but it sure is very boring for someone who's only tangentially interested, or something who's looking for some kind of synthesis or commentary. I certainly didn't get that here.

Did I learn much about Steve Bannon? Maybe a little bit. I think I have some sense of what kind of a person he is. But that's about it.
