“This film was by far our favorite at the True/False Film Festival in Columbia Missouri this past spring.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe delights of u0026quot;Searching for Sugar Manu0026quot; are revealed along the way, as the story unspools over decades and continents. I BEG YOU to cover your eyes and ears if you happen to see a trailer at your local indie theater – the art of the trailer is apparently a lost one, and most of the surprises are spoiled in the promotion prepared for this film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe director received a well-earned standing ovation at True/False, and wept – he and other directors said that T/F was the first audience of u0026quot;real peopleu0026quot; to see their respective films, apparently Sundance is peopled with u0026quot;not real peopleu0026quot;?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd be prepared to have the music playing in your head for some time to come.”
