Not bad but lacked Interview variety


It wasn't bad but there was too much Jaime Mclean and not enough other people interviewed

Jaime's sister and other siblings ?

Surely someone else from the family to talk

More of Lenny's bouncer mates

I thought Jamie was great and who better to tell the story. He knows what his dad was like behind closed door, also I found if you watch 2-3 times you pick up on things every time. I found in Jamie if you look hard enough you see Jamie's moods change from funny to dark and I think by looking at his moods and his temper is probably moods you could see within his dad. I thought this was fantastically done

I do believe the point of the film was Jamie sharing his father with the audience, so obviously Jamie was the focus. The film followed him around as he talked about his father and chatted with people who knew or knew of him.

Also, did you not notice how many family members refused to speak on camera? Pretty hard to include them if they flat out say "no".
