Being Dorothy is a fascinating exploration of small-town America through the lens of the Land of Oz Museum in Liberal, Kansas. The documentary captures the surreal experience of teenagers stepping into the iconic shoes of Dorothy, blending elements of nostalgia with the stark realities of modern life in a conservative landscape. The pacing is reflective, giving you time to soak in the quiet magic of the museum and its quirky charm. The practical effects are minimal but effective, relying on the raw enthusiasm of the young performers to breathe life into their roles. There's a thought-provoking tension in questioning whether there's truly 'no place like home' for today's Dorothy, making it an engaging watch for anyone interested in the intersection of pop culture and regional identity.
