Tyler G I have spent more of my life in WoW than I care to admit in most social circles, so the content is relatable to me. I have made deep friendships through gaming, with some very odd and loving people. This is a very good documentary on one WoW player, disability, and the social bonds people can form in the niches on society. I enjoyed it a lot, and even if you're not a WoW player or even a gamer, I think you'll get something out of this documentary.

Thanks for the Director telling such a great story. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review Jan K Every once in a while a remarkable human story finds its way onto the big screen. This is one of those films. It is deeply moving story, that shows the deep connections that we all make - even through fictional environments. All through the truly remarkable story of Ibelin. It shows that we all can wear masks, in various dimensions and to various extent - though the humanity is what connects us in friendship, kinship and love. Telling the story of Ibelin through the animations and the game is inspiring. Combined with the film fragments of his life and amazing narration, the words that Mats typed come to life in full power. Being a nineties kid of similar age, the “spending too much time with unreal people in an unreal world” story strongly resonates with me. Understanding that Mats found a way of living through the game of my generation is not surprising to me, though I hope his story surprises and impacts us all to reconsider what we commonly brush aside a “fake” or consider “real” when we think of relationships. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Alex K The story was told in a circular manner and a lot of this was told through the online WoW cinema, but that's not even how it actually looks when played? I get that must been magical to Matts, so I understand that concept, but ultimately I walked away thinking it was a bit overdone?
