This is definitely an Errol Morris documentary, firmly in the tradition he began with "Gates of Heaven". People and their stories are presented straight-ahead, with no obvious irony nor cynicism nor tongue-in-cheek.
This film was reviewed for Cambridge Filk Festival (UK) - 15 to 25 September 2011 I was not really of an age to have known about Joy(ce) McKinney at the time that she rose to prominence, but, as the former Mormon who was used in the documentary to explain various things remarked, what she said was one thing, what the Mormons said was another, and maybe what actually happened fell in the middle somewhere.Be that as it may, it is a curiosity of this subject that The Daily Mirror says that (as a result of what happened to Mirror Group Newspapers) it no longer has much of the evidence showing that she performed sexual services (although not intercourse) for money before meeting her ideal man, and that Joy herself says that a large amount of original material that proved the contrary was stolen from a vehicle of hers.
You can never trust a tabloid to tell the truth. Often times the 'news' that are reported in them are skewed in such a way to boost sales, or are most often...
"Tabloid" is a very well done, entertaining documentary by Earl Morris, who profiles Joyce McKinney, a woman accused of kidnapping a Mormon, Kirk Anderson. Yes, you read that right.
Title- tabloid justified the film. Main character- Joicey is quite interesting.
There are some extremely stupid people in the world, and it looks like every one of them has reviewed this movie.Joyce McKinney is not a nut, she is not crazy, and she did absolutely nothing wrong in trying to liberate the man she loved from a dehumanizing cult that had (and still has) him in its clutches.
There's a theory that acting (playing out a role) is something everyone does all the time, and that the artifice is essentially a streamlined version of living. For an actor on stage with a ready script in hand there are clear definitions outlined for his actions, but for regular people who are proceeding with some internally generated script, goals and motivation can seem fuzzy.
Joyce McKinney played yourself in this tabloid documentary film about her abducting her Mormon partner of England.
Popularity and quality are often not correlated. Tabloid was another movie that I fished from the discount bin for 1 , not expecting too much, but not risking either.
