Let's be real: this is a documentary about an unfinished film by a legendary director who died decades ago. The critical scores are strong because film critics love this stuff, but that doesn't mean your family movie night needs it.

If you've got a teenager who's genuinely into filmmaking, who watches video essays about cinema on YouTube, who's already seen Citizen Kane—then yeah, this could be genuinely enriching. It's a thoughtful, well-made exploration of artistic ambition and the creative process.

But for 99% of families? This is homework, not entertainment. It's slow, niche, and requires background knowledge to fully appreciate. The WISE components score reasonably well because it's quality content, but the watchability factor tanks the overall score because realistically, almost no one is going to sit down and enjoy this unless they're already film school adjacent.

Skip it unless you're specifically hunting for cinema history content.
