My favorite part was the very last paragraph which says:
This documentary "Family Christmas Tragedy" does a very good job of putting everything on film. It seems very complete. One feels like the whole story is here. We see and hear people talking about the same incident and both will be completely different tales. The re-enactments are done so they look like film from the 1920s and not modern age films. Lots of actual photos of the family (including that last photo) are shown. Photos of the aftermath of the house are shown. If anything was held back, I don't think I would want to see it. Two superior filmmakers create a superior documentary. I recommend it to all adults, children....no.

Does anyone remember what the last photo was of in the documentary that Tara King referred to in her review of our film. I'm thinking it's the one of the tombstone with the bodies of the the children and Fannie super imposed on it but I'm not sure of this.

Another thing that really pleases me about the review of our Documentary by Tara King is that she is a professional Examiner of Documentary films. We do not know her nor have we ever heard of her before this and she does not know us. Therefore her review was not biased in favor of us through a personal knowledge of or relationship with any of us involved in any way with our Documentary. Also, her focus was on the content of the story and the way in which the film was put together rather than her focus being on the accents, ages, and geography/location of the people in the story. Target Man is not a professional Examiner of Documentaries therefore his tirade and whining and personal stabs towards us is un-important and useless.

I really enjoyed reading this review. Sounded to me like she watched it and was fair with her review.
