09/16/2011 I loved 51 Birch Street, but I felt like this film went too far in filming Block's own relationship with his daughter in what became an intrusive way. His daughter was uncomfortable with much of his documenting of her life once she became an adolescent and even when in tears she told him how much she hated it, he kept the camera rolling. It seemed insensitive & disrespectful. No wonder she went to college on the opposite coast! As his stepson said at one point "time to get over it." "It" being the handringing over Lucy growing up. 3 stars because it kept me interested & I loved Lucy & his wife.

What it becomes is a study of a man who viewed his daughter's life through a camera lens and failed to make a real connection to her. It's not great filmmaking, but it's interesting.
