watched this close to its release, the industry has made a lot of strides since then, the real life Phil Fish drama makes it worth a watch.

It’s in interesting view into passion and drive. These people are all so committed to what they're doing, to an absolutely neurotic level.

The movie feels a bit dated now, but Phil Fish is a fascinating character…and not always in a pleasant way!

A deeply personal and thorough insight into the artistic process of creating a game and it's conflict with the mainstream games industry.
