Review of The Education of Shelby Knox (2005) by Walter M — 19 Apr 2009

Yes, I am a documentary whore. And when it comes to documentaries, these are good fodder for me. I think this is a great little piece of Americana and it is definitely the right subject to follow. She is a great spirit and the story captures what it wants to show. I also was pleased to see that the deleted scenes were deleted because it would have given it more of a feel that Shelby was a reporter. However, the moment it shows her on the back of the motorcycle it really showed how innocent she is, which showed a little bit of objectivity.

This could have expanded a bit beyond Shelby, because there was only so far she could have taken the subject ? or I should say the topic, but it was still entertaining and engaging. I definitely felt for her and felt sorry for anyone who has a differing opinion who lives in that town.
