On the surface it's another interesting Farrier doco about a very weird person who gets their jollies from manipulating people.
But as the film goes on, and you start to comprehend the nefarious and vindictive nature of what is happening, it becomes a deep insight into how utterly cooked it is that we don't have any means to protect people from the Mr Organ's of the world.
We hear a lot about violence in relationships in New Zealand, but this is the first time I've seen a documentary capture the destructiveness of the emotional/psychological abuse that people are forced to endure at the hands of abusers. The people who have chosen to tell their stories are incredibly brave - and I hope they never have to feel alone standing against this truly vile character.
It's a wild ride, its very funny in parts... and its the most chilling insight into coercive and controlling people I've seen.
