People were kind of underwhelmed by this film and I can get why, what with its terse fly-on-the-wall style and seemingly boring subject matter, but yet one has to say there is something remarkable about a documentary team who simply film something as innocuous as travelling Bible salesmen and manage to find a perfect metaphor for the hollowness of the American dream - the main salesman in this very much reminded me of Jack Lemmon's character in Glengarry Glen Ross.
