I wasn't amazed by this short documentary but it was a nice re-visiting to the decades old discussion of why our culture is so breast-obsessed. Some moving conversations from cancer survivors but overall the film is a little lacking in anything new.

What a fun investigative film! Right away I was hooked--I've never understood our terrible, clunky film rating system. And -yes, you guessed it- now I want to create my own rating system. Look for that in the near future.
Kirby Dick does a wonderful job finding out about the secretive and strangely uncooperative MPAA. He also includes great commentary from filmmakers and writers about their experiences with having films rated and those ratings not explained. Eye-opening.
