Tanya’s Score: Good-and-a-half*
Rated: 14A
Starring: a death row inmate
Plot: A documentary focussing on Nick Yarris and his personal story leading up to and into his death row prison sentence.
Tanya’s Verdict: Nick Yarris has charisma as well as a definite knack as a storyteller. He also happens to be a prisoner on death row.
This entire documentary is Nick – telling his story. And it’s a fascinating one. All elements are slowly revealed to the audience – a little at a time and it just gets better and better.
I haven’t seen a documentary like this one ever before. It is gripping and compelling; it will lead you one way and then another; it is both heart breaking and inspirational.
*Four score descriptions: Sh**; Okay; Good; Great
