Review of Super Size Me (2004) by Dustin D — 22 Jan 2011

Morgan Spurlock's film here is perhaps the best mainstream documentary out there. By "mainstream," I mean that it panders to a relatively wide audience. Few are likely to reject this film on the basis of personally finding the subject matter to be uninteresting.

Spurlock excellently crafts the pacing and content of the film to create about as compelling and entertaining a documentary as anyone working with a mainstream topic can get. As we now see nearly eight years after its release, this film has become a classic of the documentary genre, and rightfully so.
