SHORT MOVIE REVIEW: TICKLED
Here's a good idea, instead of seeing the Ghostbusters reboot nobody wanted, you should really view this thought-provoking, sincere and brave documentary. You may find this a quite odd, which frankly it is, but I guarantee this is a story unlike any you have ever been told. A kwirky New Zealand journalist, David Farrier goes looking for his next big story, when he stumbles upon a sport that is out of the ordinary; competetive endurance tickling. You read that correctly, this is a movie about competetive endurance tickling, and no, it is absolutely not what you would expect. Fascinated by this, he reaches out to the company responsible, and receives a reply that leads him down a rabbit hole of unimaginable depth. I can definitely say this is the best documentary I have seen since "King of Kong: A Fist Full of Dollars". From a film making perspective, it's not the most well put together documentary, but the gripping subject matter alone, makes for one hell of a thrill ride. A testimony of power, corruption, and lies, with many lessons to learn throughout. A grounding reminder that nothing is what it seems, and there is absolute evil all around us, every secon of this film is more savory than the next. From it's delightfully witty opening, to it's heart-wrenching conclusion, We have a clear front-runner for "Tickled" is a must see.
