JLG/PG is an intriguing exploration of contempt, steeped in an almost voyeuristic lens. The pacing can feel languid, but it serves the film’s contemplative nature. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as the viewer is drawn into the complicated interplay between the filmmaker and his subjects. It's a documentary that doesn't shy away from discomfort, showcasing the raw, unvarnished reactions of those captured on camera. The practical effects here aren't traditional; they manifest in the unfiltered emotions and expressions of the people. There's a certain brutal honesty in the performances, which adds layers to the film's themes of power dynamics and personal disdain. Overall, it’s distinctive in its approach—a kind of mirror reflecting the contempt that the act of recording can evoke.
