The documentary book of the same name by Ron SwansonRon Jonson Jon Ronson that inspired this movie is excellent -- as is the Psychopath Test and everything else I've read of his.
Watched this, it was a silly but nice movie. It’s meant to be a comedy but I understand a lot of the stuff, other than the journalist’s story, really happened.
This movie was fucking hilarious. It's a comedy but none of the characters act like it's a comedy. Everyone is dead serious all the time which makes it feel like it's unintentionally funny which for me at least makes it even more funny.

I saw this movie once, sat down with my mother and watched it through. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and that was enough.

Damn totally forgot about this movie. Don't even remember much about it. But I know I have seen it and I think I enjoyed it.

Which makes it more fun.

Another movie that excels in deadpan humor is The Death of Stalin, which last I checked is on Prime Video and Kanopy (the latter of which may be free through library cards): https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_death_of_stalin

This was filmed at NMMI in Roswell. I was one of the nine million matching idiots. 980 reporting. Always cracks me up to see the ol' Alma Mater.
Salute the Squirrel!

"I'm going through the wall" I don't remember if that's the exact quote, but it was a good movie.
