Best movie ever!
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
... but it's entertaining. Roy Blount's sense of humor is sardonic and generally very dry -- unlike his subject, ba-DUM-bum! Some of the photography is absolutely gorgeous... until the Mighty Mississippi starts getting industrialized and heavily polluted, long about St. Louis. For those of us who live near-enough-to-be-interested, yet far-enough-not-to-see-it-regularly, it's a must-see documentary. Recommended!
