Capturing the Friedmans - ? Stars

Capturing the Friedmans (yes, it's spelled correctly) is truly bizzare. It's a documentary about a father and son accused of sending child porn through the mail plus something like 100 counts of molestation and rape. It's like watching a car accident - it's gross, but you keep watching anyway. I think it was a good film, but it's hard to separate the subject from the object. I guess that makes it great? The parts about the molestation aren't as repulsive as you would think, rather what's gross is how the family reacts to the situation. Most of them are out of their minds. For example, one of the kids is actually filming the family as the charges unfold - that's where most of the footage comes from. It's worth watching to the end as the story continues to evolve through the final scenes.
