Life Stripped Bare

Life Stripped Bare follows individuals tasked to live without their belongings for a particular amount of days. Although initially they're intrigued, it's however quickly glaring how totally unprepared, shy, and unwilling they become. Their first opportunities to surrender their belongings, most notably their clothes, isn't too challenging but they're quickly salvaging these items opposed to going further without hiding their skin.

The documentary also challenges viewers with numerous topics while they're without certain resources for a prolonged time. But unfortunately, the main cast doesn't devote themselves long enough to learn or earn anything. Even while streaking through crowded areas, they're bewildering audiences about whether they actually cared. At least that especially applies when it hasn't been an entire week yet they're still sheltering themselves from being viewed or otherwise gathering items to clothe themselves.

It's an intriguing premise with thoughtful messages but wasn't capable to fulfill its fullest potential. Credit is due to the volunteers but after they're clothed, and certain blatantly sloppily edited scenes occur, the documentary loses its flair and feels like it could've been longer instead of being a disjointed and rushed mess. It's not terrible but it's absolutely not bare enough.
