A bit drowsy
Found it kinda boring. Right away Lenny's sibling refuse to speak, so we're left with anecdotes told by his son, many of which have the flavour of urban legend. This undermines the credibility of the film as a documentary, but it also makes it less full, bold and character-rich. Lenny seems flat, and for a character who really only had notoriety in a tiny corner of the world, it is that spice of character, background, motivation, personal struggle etc. That is needed to make such a story worth telling. As it stands, it feels like a story told by the barman over a couple pints late at night before closing.
