Fell, Jumped or Pushed (2016)
FELL, JUMPED or PUSHED is a funny, smart mockumentary with heart
I loved this film. FELL, JUMPED, or PUSHED is a very clever and fun mockumentary with seriously fantastic performances and a lot of heart. Todd Peters (also the director/writer), Caroline Hall, Jeremy Rabb, Mark Boyett, and Blair Sams as the core crew of the documentary that is the subject of the film – and Andrei Belgrader as the over-the-top auteur – all gave seamless, grounded performances. And the grandmothers! There is a scene in a bar with one of the grandmothers - I want to bottle her voice. She's amazing. (The blending of actors with "real people" is interesting and effective.) The movie's tone is akin to Christopher Guest films at their most real moments, and I laughed out loud more than once. This is a well done, entertaining indy film that I highly recommend.
