I just watched the first episode of the F word, and after the first 3 minutes, I can definitely say that I am hooked! I love the overall aesthetic and editing of the film and how it varies from Nouvelle-Vauge-esque “obvious editing” with crayon-drawn circles and words scrawled across the screen to more normal “smooth” editing. The plot line is engaging and the close-up camera shots make it seem very intimate but in a welcoming way. Sometimes documentaries can seem voyeuristic, but with this one, the directing and editing do a great job of making the audience feel valuable and un-intrusive into this personal situation/life.
I am super excited to continuing watching the rest of the episodes and to be able to Skype in!
I agree! They do a really good job of hooking you in fast and making you feel apart of their story where it doesn’t feel intrusive!
