Even if it wasn't a hoax, it felt like reality TV at its most hokey.

While the film was well constructed -- it was very much presented as if the subjects case of amnesia were authentic; briefly mentioning false cases exist without exploring the possibility in this instance.

Case-in-point: the subject could not recall people, places, or the taste of any food -- re-learning what a strawberry was in one scene. Interestingly, the ability to speak, read, write, etc. are all intact. Hmmmmm. Expand

A compelling documentary. The interviews were fascinating but the director often failed to elicit interesting follow throughs.

The interviews were fascinating but the director often failed to elicit interesting follow throughs. The filler footage was often rather pointless, with shots of plastic bags on the street and the like. The bottom line is that this was extraordinary documentary material in the hands of a filmmaker with only average filmmaking skills. Nonetheless, some of it is strongly emotional. Cut down to 60 minutes, it could be much stronger. Expand

Pretty fake in my opinion because he forgets some cute concepts( the taste of chocolate) and yet retains the understanding of some very complex concepts, such as governing, value of money, friendship and so on.

This can be seen by how the director tries to fills the void with 'vanilla sky' time lapse sequences but withNah. Whilst it has an excellent story the reluctance of the person to be involved in the project lets the entire documentary down. This can be seen by how the director tries to fills the void with 'vanilla sky' time lapse sequences but with an reluctant and somewhat boring subject matter. it fails to pass as a documentary worthy of even a final film student.
