Dumbstruck (2010)
I am a sucker for checking out documentaries on quirky subjects. The subject here is ventriloquism, featuring participants with a wide range of ages and experiences with success. I’m picky about the standup comedy I find humorous and ventriloquism is just too bizarre for me to get beyond the whys of someone choosing the hobby/career. There’s just something missing in this film that brings me to empathize with most of the subjects. Nothing else in the film is elevated enough to make up for that.
