What are critics saying?
Slant Magazine by Joseph Jon Lanthier
The documentary discipline can't escape its own inherent intermediateness, or its own penchant for deception.
The New York Times by Manohla Dargis
It's impossible to know from the movie whether Mr. Geyrhalter believes this paradise needs protecting or whether something in his words - irony, fury, laughter - was lost in translation.
Village Voice by Nick Pinkerton
There's material from a phone-in psychoanalysis center, the dumping grounds of London's surveillance-camera feed, and the detox tent at some massive biergarten - like much of the film, mordantly funny in a kind of pursed-lips, arched-eyebrows way.
