Impossible to categorise documentary turns out to be impossible to predict, too. Starts off looking like a fairly conventional documentary, complete with celebrity interviewees (Penn Jilette, Weird Al Yankovich, etc) and archive footage, but very soon the narrative of the documentary takes a hard left turn and becomes something totally unexpected.
Sort of a commentary on and deconstruction of the current golden age of documentary feature film making, but also a genuinely intriguing puzzle box of a film. It stops being about the putative subject and becomes a documentary about what it means to make documentaries. The director starts to question everything that's going on and I did, too. Maybe it doesn't have the big reveal at the end I was expecting, but it's still fascinating, thought-provoking, and often very funny.
