Review of American Carny: True Tales from the Circus Sideshow (2008) by Kristal C — 14 Jun 2008
How does one make a boring movie about the circus sideshow and its "freaks"? Well, Nick Basile did it. This doc tries to cover way too much ground in covering not only the rich history of the sideshow but in focusing on too many subjects.
As a result, we get a movie filled with "talking heads" rather than a slice-of-life, which would have been far more interesting.
