The Sticklet Weaver is a raw dive into the mind of Brent Brown, an outsider artist who turns cardboard into something almost magical. It’s not just a documentary; it’s an exploration of mental health through the lens of creativity. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the nuances of his life and art. You see him struggle, and then create these amazing puppets that reflect his journey. The practical effects are all handmade, giving a tactile quality that’s pretty unique. You really connect with his vulnerability, and there’s a certain charm to the way it's shot—imperfect but so honest. It stands out in the doc world for its focus on the therapeutic power of creativity.
