    Capturing the Friedmans

    Reviewed by
    robbinemail@

    A well done documentary that uses a lot of home movies to show us how this outwardly normal and close knit all-American family, are unable to fight back against a hysterical society and legal system. Most of this due to the family's disunity has a result of the unresolved guilt and shame of the father - Arnold Friedman - for the deviant behavior in his life. Vividly depicts how the Friedman boys pay for the sins of their father, and how society can become overzealous and irrational in its effort to contain, control and punish deviant taboo behavior. A film more people should see and think about.
