Reception
The documentary had mixed reviews.[3] The Times said "Theroux risks becoming the Alan Whicker de nos jours, a tourist with a typewriter, peering into these other lives but rarely getting dirty himself."[4]
The Guardian called the work "an extraordinary film, a sad portrait of a very different California".[1]
gollark: It's made of plastic.
gollark: I've got an external one, but it doesn't seem to work very reliably and also worryingly overheats when used lots.
gollark: Apart from the lack of working drivers for its SD card reader.
gollark: My existing laptop, a several-year-outdated refurbished business one I put an SSD and extra RAM into, works nicely.
gollark: Probably, but I have no use for a really ancient laptop which could maybe run slightly less poorly.
