Searching for Sugar Man (Malik Bendjelloul, 2012)

7.5/10
A good documentary, even if the "twist" was somewhat spoiled for me and anyone who knew a thing or two about Rodriguez going into the film. While it was an interesting - and pretty crazy - story, I must say I didn't feel the "triumph" or like "standing up and cheering" that the DVD cover promised, but hey. Rodriguez is a great musician and deserves the exposure, and seems like a genuinely nice guy too, so all the better that the accolades are finally reaching him, albeit belatedly.
