sherman march have some outstanding moment that capture the difficulty of relationship and but the lengthiness and lack of focus make it difficult to praise . the overall structure of the film be a clever look at the unpredictability of an artist focus and in that filmmaker ross mcelwee set out to make a documentary about the savannah campaign and end up make a film about his failed relationship . but mcelwee free form approach to storytelling be the sole cause of the film only major flaw while at a whopping 157 minute and it pad with excessively long shot and pointless detour and include several attempt to find burt reynolds . it impossible to become fully absorb in the story when the subject repeatedly shift from history lesson to love triangle to stalk celebrity . ultimately and this film be worth view for it glimpse into the human condition and the interesting character that enrich mcelwee travel ( i especially like charleen ) . however and much like the filmmaker and you may need to distract yourself periodically to make it to the end of this exhaust reflexive journey .
