I think it's a great documentary. It reminds me about "Supersized Me". It's about the performance enhancement drugs in sports, about politics and misconceptions regarding that, about gym rats and their lifes. It's about cheaters, false heroes, and lies. I don't get to hear that often honest opinions about life and failures, and a birds-eye view about someone's life till the present time. I liked that very much.
About half way into the movie I paused it and started saying "fuck ... fuck! ... fuck ..." for about 30 seconds. So it had some "wow" moments for me.
Will definitely keep it, and I recommend you see it too.

The Visitor
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0857191/
I like stories about people being open to each other, and starting to live their life again after a self-imposed seclusion. I like seeing the sparkle of light glittering in their eyes again. Maybe I like African drum-beats. I like people communicating more through gestures then words. That's what I liked about this movie.
Even though I don't see living as an illegal immigrant as being a heinous crime, I don't like the "we did nothing wrong" attitude. I don't relate to it. If you know you did something against the rules, don't whine when you're caught. And I don't like the "thank you for being nice to us" attitude, without trying really hard to make up for it. If some stranger invests some money in my ass, should I just say "thank you" and that's it ? I didn't understand some of the interactions in the story.
So, I don't regret seeing the movie, I did learn a couple of things about African drums, and I liked the acting. I don't think I want to see it again, though.
