This is one of the best biopic documentaries I have seen & seeing a blind man performing world's best card game is even more intruguing.
When I watched this guy's wife said that he treated her like his guide dog, every time he needed her he whistled. She said she felt that she was being used by him as a guide dog whenever he needed her. I felt sad for her at that moment. And I didn't believe that later when they prayed together and decided to be together no matter what was what really changed her hurt feelings or just recovered from his heartless use of her. I think that she had pointed out the way he treated her was wrong and unacceptable, and she might have said if you keep doing this kind of thing treating me like a dog, I'll leave you. I think that's the real alarming message to make him realize how heartless he was and finally recognized she was not his guide dog but his lifelong partner and companion. I also noticed when she mentioned it, she still showed a hurt feeling.
The other thing made me wonder is if both him and his sister got the same peculiar blind disease at the same young age. It means that there's some weird genes from their parents. The documentary didn't tell us whether their parents and among their ancestors got this disease. I also noticed that their adult son looked quite healthy and normal, but I just couldn't worry about whether that sort of weird genes still existed and hidden, it might skip his son's generation and transfer to his offspring. Or that cursed gene would skip couple of generations and reappear in the future. This possibility is there, and I think all of them might have the same fear, but just buried it deep in their minds. What a weird disease.....Is there any recorded statistics telling us how many people suffered the same early blindness? Is it a racial biased disease only happened to certain races? Lot of questions...

Sometimes its best to preserve the mystery. For anyone captivated by Richard Turner's art, this may sour it somewhat. Turner comes off as narcissistic and self-centred and the show features many uncomfortable interactions between him and his family. It seems like his wife and son (who both seem lovely) have sacrificed an awful lot for him yet don't really get much appreciation for it.
As for the documentary itself, there is far too much focus on Turner's blindness than his incredible abilities. This is especially annoying given that he describes people's obsessions with his sight as something he hates.
I came away from this feeling like I don't really like this guy very much. The muted reaction of his peers at the award ceremony suggests I might not be alone. An interesting documentary but probably would have been better left unmade.

Ha!
Man, go into this knowing nothing!
This is a spoiler free review, just because this is the type of film you should go into without any knowledge if you can help it. Because you want to get the biggest bang for your buck.
I fold!
I would have given a 10 but I am one of those people that doesn't believe anything is "perfect", blame my business classes..
Nevertheless this movie is amazing, I've never heard of Richard before and I'm a magician myself. I was absolutely blown away by his story and I strongly suggest it, it's an amazing story.
