'Mister Organ' has a problem. The problem is that it has no hook. It has no reason for its audience to keep watching. The film tries to begin with an intriguing scene from later on in the documentary, which is supposed to keep us curious and invested. The problem is that there is nothing intriguing about the scene. This film is going to lose a lot of people part way through because there is simply no reason given to us to push through.
The film also asks us to spend a tremendous amount of time with an extremely annoying person. It is so tedious listening to these long-winded phone interviews with someone babbling on about absolutely nothing. David Farrier even mentions this himself. It's like he wanted us to be as punished by this guy as he was.
Basically it seems Farrier has decided to make a career out of taking a story that is complete non-story and using clever filmmaking techniques to convince people that it is a story. There's nothing to see here. 3/10.
