It's not recreated scenes, but it's a blurry line...
I do believe the scenes when the protagonist finally meets might not be as genuine as it's made out

I think the fact that no one knows apart from the filmmakers themselves is what makes this film really really interesting

What a shame - I was at this screening in Edinburgh last night, and unfortunately the Q&A at the end was fraught with problems as the video feed kept buffering and freezing meaning that it was impossible to hear what was being said. It was a great idea to have it on Facebook instead of a satellite feed, but it seems all of England sooked the bandwidth and very little penetrated up to Scotland.

I thoroughly and unexpectedly enjoyed this film, having fisrt seen the trailer, but then hearing that it was a documentary. It should have been so bring, but it wasn't at all and it really worked.

I liked.

Shame though it's getting an online release with lovefilm. Despite what people think, it deserves a cinematic release (same with Frozen). Not sure with all these online film releases by Lovefilm, but I guess thats the way technology is going....

At LFF the filmmakers did state that no scenes were re-created bar the facebook/online computer graphic scenes.

But it is having a cinematic release as normal, isn't it? I can find lots of cinemas showing it from tomorrow.
