This film grew on me as I thought about what I was going to say. Often, as I analyze them in my head, they diminish and fall apart. I was pleased to see that the opposite happened with this one. "Chop Shop" is on my Netflix queue, and "Goodbye Solo" will be as soon as it is released.

He's a pretty engrossing speaker as well, if you ever get a chance to hear him. He spoke for about 90 minutes following Goodbye Solo here - have you seen that yet? I think you might like it quite a lot. Great review, Rick, and I’m glad you got a look at Bahrani’s first hit. He’s a pretty engrossing speaker as well, if you ever get a chance to hear him.
