Audience Member I don't think that there was enough here for a movie as long as it was, but the conversations between Fuller and Jarmusch were engaging and the stories flew by. Lots of padding though... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member while more could have been done with this and some parts are a little hokey, it's still fun to watch the elderly fuller and quirky jarmusch on their journey through the amazon. 'tigrero' was an epic planned to be shot there in the 1950s, if only insurance costs for stars john wayne and ava gardner hadn't been prohibitive. fuller revisits a tribe he encountered while scouting locations Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite a few forced moments and awkward attempts at humor, a fun documentary chronicling Sam Fuller's unique, bold brand of filmmaking. An interesting look into Fuller's creative process for fans of his work, though it may not be as effective for the uninitiated. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Only for true fans of Jarmusch or Fuller. I liked it.. but I'm a nut. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Samuel Fuller and Jim Jarmusch traveling in the jungle, need I say more. This is a great documentary. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Jim Jarmusch and Sam Fuller are the parfect team in this "epic to be" documentary. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
