    "Keep Sweet" is occasionally guilty of veering too far into the weeds of individual stories and engages in some sleazy flourishes -- like adding graphics to make Jeffs' eyes appear snake-like when someone refers to them as such -- that don't belong in a serious documentary. ... "Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey" ultimately owes its strength to those who didn't obey and possessed the courage to break free, as well as outsiders working to expose what was happening.

While the stories of Ex-FLDS are indeed heartbreaking, we cannot accept them as the full story, nor as a fair representation of the FLDS culture itself. Most people do not know FLDS personally, and Ex-FLDS "witnesses" know this. Could they be exploiting it?… Full Review »

    While the subject matter is disturbing and worthy of a documentary, the makers here have somehow made this bloated and rather mundane.
