Movie Update

Man on Wire: 3.5/4 stars. Very good but not great documentary about an amazing undertaking. The feat itself is so impressive that any competently-made documentary on the subject should be entertaining and watchable. The film itself doesn't add much, which is sometimes a good thing-- Petit is portrayed as neither kook nor god-- though it might have been nice to get more information on his background and how on earth he was able to finance all his endeavors.
