If you're not addicted to this particular game yourself, none of that is very interesting.
Top CriticThe nimble, funny Man at War examines a video game as return of the repressed-it could well be called Why We Keep Fighting.
Blawut's fast-moving doc is a sharp rendering of a kind of tech-enabled time travel, and the way this online fraternity is rewriting history while very much in its grip.
A hopelessly myopic documentary look at videogamers obsessed with a very specific computer flight simulator that lacks any sort of compelling entrance point into its insular world.
