“Itu0026#39;s a reality movie. Itu0026#39;s like the Real Cancun, which was the first reality movie or an episode of Hogan knows best.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA Joe Carman Writes, Directs and produces a film about his life as an aging MMA fighter and how he juggles it with being a family man. Itu0026#39;s actually a great set up for a reality TV show for ESPN or something, but instead he releases it as a film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe cameras follow Joe and his family around capturing his life but Joe letu0026#39;s the cameras do all the talking and does not have those interviews in dark rooms you see in a bunch of reality shows. I love that, and I think it was brilliant. Doing it that way, It honestly took me awhile before I realized It was not a straight up narrative. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNo wonder the acting was sooooo good, it was not acting. There were these scenes in which Joe is interacting with his parents and his children are having a private discussion about their dad that pound at your heart better than any actor ever could.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo far the best most exciting movie Iu0026#39;ve seen in 2018. This unconventional approach cinema wins the fight in my book.”
