As legend has it, attendees of the premier screening of Capturing the Friedmans stayed behind in the theater for two hours, debating whether the father and son were guilty of the crimes of which they were accused. Although I tend to believe that in most cases, there is no smoke without fire, as the old saying goes, it seems that a lot of the smoke in this case might have been coming out of the cops’ fertile imaginations, and that of the reclining young man interviewed with his head in shadow.
I guess we’ll never know the truth, but the story made for a compelling MovieNight presentation, which was surprisingly well-attended!

What! No one has started a discussion yet? Let me tell you something… that family was an f’in mess! I don’t think the father or son molested their computer students but the father definitely had a thing for the kiddies… yikes! And as for the older son who’s a clown, double yikes!
