Very likeable but it also felt very much like the recent Pixar movies (Soul) that throw a boatload of stuff at the screen then attempt to resolve the existential dread-based plot with feel good self-help book statements.
Great material, but it feels thrown out there like you're watching a reel of outtakes from the actual documentary. It would have benefited from being edited into a mini-series to give it some structure.
As the only person to have checked this (the Belgian Cinematek has a copy) it feels like my duty to comment but there isn't much to say... It's 5 hours of fairly unrelenting humorless western action.
