Despite growing up on the Lower East Side, the six Angulo brothers know little of New York City or the outside world. They have no acquaintances outside their family and are rarely permitted to leave their home. Much of what they know of the world is gleaned from the films they watch obsessively and recreate meticulously, using elaborate homemade props and costumes. When one of the brothers ventures out for the first time (wearing a Michael Meyers mask), the power dynamics in the house are transformed, and his brothers are soon to follow.

With incredible access into the subjects’ world and vast archive of home movies, director Crystal Moselle has crafted a fascinating coming of age story, charting an extraordinary family whose lives are a true example of the transformative power of movies.

Reminiscent of Andrew Jarecki's Capturing the Friedmans in its portrait of familial dysfunction, this is an astonishing, haunting and very moving documentary, which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance 2015, and demands to be seen. 

"Not since Grey Gardens has a film invited us into such a strange, barely-functioning home and allowed us to gawk without reservation." ***** Jordan Hoffman, Guardian
