Sherman's March Ratings & Reviews
- Mister ArnMarch 16, 2026In “Sherman’s March,” the filmmaker himself is the subject, and the lack of structure becomes the story. There’s an honesty here that’s rare. It leaves in the awkward pauses, the missed signals, the self-awareness that arrives too late. It’s not flattering, and that’s the point. If you need a clear story, it might not work for you. It holds up not because it’s polished, but because it’s honest.
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 13, 2025I really, really enjoyed this documentary essentially about the Director's love life. It's a bit like a movie/more subtle and delicate version of the 'How to with John Wilson' TV Show. More genuinely personal.
