The Ringmaster

Watch this to see a spoiled boy wearing adult clothes thinks if he buys cameras, throws money at a crew, and sports a backward-wearing Kangol cap he's a filmmaker. He's not.

This is not a documentary of Larry Lang. This is an ego-driven, people destroying, tramp through a person's life for the non-talented Zachs' own aggrandizement. There's not a boot big enough to kick that faux filmmaker's ass back to his manipulative home in his self-important dreamland. The crew of his excuse-making sycophants are equally deserving of shame.

By the end of this disaster you realize the only decent person in the whole documentary is Larry. All the rest are dingleberries on the buttholes of life.

A unique study of ethics in filmmaking that is full of heart and quirky characters. A genre bending experience. If you're tired of predictable stories then watch this!

Onions have layers, just like people do, and this movie is a perfect demonstration of just how complicated people truly are. Just as the two heroes from the cult classic "American Movie" set out on an unabashedly honest attempt at creating true art, their final product pales in comparison to their journey. That's where all the revelations are, along the path. As Zack bumbles his way face forward into pursuing his personal vision we get a rare opportunity to observe humans in a truly chaotic situation doing what humans do best, not knowing what we are doing. The result is one of the most honest and interesting documentaries about real Americans and the dreams we pursue as well as what shapes our lives. Just as we laughed and jived at the filmmakers of "American Movie" the honesty of the film is what has cemented it as cult classic years later. It's a real movie, with real people, and real consequences which is also a testament to the art of documentaries and how the art truly is a jungle. I recommend a viewing to any auteur looking for something new and raw.

So crazy. Loved everything about this, from the documentarian to Larry - really heartfelt and deep honestly. I thought I was watching a documentary about the best onion rings in the world but really it turned into something more important. Respect to everybody involved. Watch and support this film.

Holy f#@k this is an absolute must see. I knew zero about this documentary going in and found it to be delicious, funny and heart wrenching. Every time you think the story is going in one direction the unanticipated occurs and you're on the edge of your seat the entire time. I found the filmmaker to be very passionate about honoring the onion ring chef from his childhood. It is really sad to see how this film ends but the movie is so well made and makes you feel very deeply. Also, it was cool to see KISS the band in this movie and the connection to the NFL.
