'Mortified Nation' is genuinely entertaining, but also subversively profound and surprisingly moving.

Rated: A

It's not entirely useless, but calling this a documentary is a stretch considering it doesn't actually document anything beyond the show's supposed greatness.

This is a great introduction to the TV series, and the TV series is even funnier!

Droll, and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny. A hidden gem of the awkward comedy movement.

I laughed and cried. So relatable and comforting. Genuine people with genuine stories. "You do not need talent to be a rock god."

An engaging documentary on the Mortified movement, where people read their diaries and journals from when they were young in front of an audience. Every entry and the story behind it manages to be both hilarious and heartwarming, and the lessons come from the minds of adolescents and the mouths of their grown up selves. The last line sums up the film perfectly: "We're freaks, we're fragile, but we made it."

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
