Review of Tying the Knot (2004) by Jason V — 25 Jan 2011
Even a documentary has to be able to tell a narrative story successfully. Tying the Knot doesn't. It skips from one story to another, jumping in at arbitrary points and then leaving without properly resolution.
It does take a stab at being useful by beginning to explore how marriage has changed over the centuries, though even that thesis is discarded all too quickly. This is neither the macro or the micro story of the issue; Tying the Knot ties itself up in knots trying to do too many things at the same time.
Not of which are done particularly well, unfortunately.
