This is a good commentary and companion piece for the original film with many ideas coming together. It has its own philosophical line and its own gravitas, having as much profundity as the film itself. But unlike with most films, see this commentary before seeing THE EXORCIST, not after. (Okay, everyone interested in this documentary will probably have seen THE EXORCIST but do not re- watch it until *after* you watch this.) The film is basically Friedkin talking and as such is long and a bit pedantic, but contains much information. Released 11/19/20; available on Amazon Prime. Rating: high +2 (-4 to +4)
