Lord of the Toys (2018)
A Groundbreaking Triumph of Documentary Filmmaking
9 May 2019 - 7 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
Playing off the tradition of observational documentary, Lord of the Toys takes the form to a new level. Unprecedented access to the characters combined with the wonderfully expressive cinematography and editing results in such a well constructed film that at times it feels almost scripted. The issue of giving problematic figures a platform is a current issue and this film solves that problem by focusing on the emotions between the moments and not letting the inflammatory content they promote take centre stage. Overall a brilliant, affecting film that brings you closer to understanding the people behind the actions and ultimately expresses our shared humanity.
