What a cool documentary. What a cool memoir.

It drags in places, becomes repetitive and could use a more rigid hand in editing, but it also has a kind of pleasing earnestness that would be lost in a more sophisticated effort.

Like a gambler with an inside bet, you can know the final score, but still enjoy every second of the game.
