10/10
One of the best
18 May 2012
I wish I had more time to write a review but Sherman's March is simply one of the greatest and most epic documentaries ever created. Rarely do epic two and a half hour documentaries show themselves to be worth watching, but this film does. Straddling between the lines of Richard Leacock (strict verite style) and later more intrusive styles, Ross Mcelwee pushes forward through his adventure and we are right by his side every step of the way. I believe some critic once said Mcelwee points his camera with "phallic resolve" toward the women he meets. This is indeed true. I wish I had time to say more.

Watch the film. It is a tour de force of documentary filmmaking.
