Well, mainly it's because reviews are easier when there's something to critique - like acting. Now, if a documentary is boring then I should imagine it'd be quite easy to rip it apart but this, which is by no means boring, I found very hard to put into words. And no, I had no problems with the subject matter. Things like this, even if they're upsetting, don't cause me problems. Did I forget to mention why I said that?

I'd say there were a lot of severely valid and well made points on the subject made within the documentary. It IS an "enjoyable" experience in so much as the feelings it makes you consider within yourself and the questions it pushes you to ask. "Enjoyable" as in "throwaway entertainment" in the style of Michael Moore or what not? Nooooo! Very good review though mate! One question though: You open your review with... "I don’t very often review documentaries. And after watching this, I’ve realised why! I love documentaries, I really do, but I’m really not looking forward to reviewing one ever again!" But you don't really pay mention as to why you're not looking forward to reviewing one again? Why is it? This wasn't so bad that it put you off in terms of quality? So is it the subject matter? Has it made you more cautious? I didn't understand that bit. I work with people with learning disabilities and in an environment given coverage in this documentary.
