Demme Docs

272) I'm Carolyn Parker (2011) Dir: Jonathan Demme Date Released: September 12, 2012 Date Seen: August 30, 2012 Rating: 2.75/5

275) The Agronomist (2003) Dir: Jonathan Demme Date Released: April 24, 2004 Date Seen: September 4, 2012 Rating: 3.25/5

Glad I got to write this piece as it gave me the opportunity to think about what it is that I don't like about the frustratingly myopic perspective of Demme's political docs. See my review for the Village Voice for more.

The more I think about Magic, the more I like it. See my soon-to-be-posted piece for Capital New York on these two films.
