Holy shit! That basically sums up my reaction to this excellent American documentary.<\/p>\n
Remember Tiffany, the ’80s pop star? Well, Jeff and Kelly sure do. In fact they are crazo-level obsessed with her. Stalkers basically, although Kelly resists the label and Jeff thinks… well, something to do with government conspiracy.<\/p>\n
The concept sounds hilarious and there were moments of amusement but they were balanced by moments of deep sadness which turned to horror. My emotions ran the gamut with this one and I literally laughed and cried, and then almost quivered with fear.<\/p>\n
Apparently there has been some controversy and some people think the subjects in this film are being exploited but I disagree. Sean Donnelly, the director was there for a Q&A and he defended his position and revealed that he is actually friends with these individuals. The whole idea for the movie came about because he thought his friend Jeff was a worthy subject for a documentary. He genuinely seemed to care about these people and they have seen the movie and approve of it. Kelly just wants to know when she’s getting paid but as of yet, Donnelly has only lost money on the project. <\/p>\n
I encourage you to see this film and help him out. I really enjoyed it and found these individuals to be a worthy subject of examination. The film is told from their point of view and the idea is not to analyze them but to let them speak for themselves and express their affection for Tiffany. Poor, hardworking, kind-hearted Tiffany, whose manager refuses to let her see the film because he doesn’t want her to get scared. Wise choice.<\/p>\n
