What I Liked About This Movie
WOW was the first thing I said after I finished this movie and I think that one word sums it pretty well. Lake of Fire took Tony Kaye 15 years to complete and is made up of a mix of old footage and stunning high quality footage. The footage he used when grainy/older looking fits and when it is perfectly focused it fits. It is a hard balancing act to mix video sources but Kaye managed to switch between footage sources in ways that were very impressive.

The entire movie is done in high contrast black & white which adds a great visual experience to go along with the powerful themes of this documentary. This is an amazing movie and the ending is nothing short of breathtaking.
What Didn’t Work For Me
Felt a little too long, that’s it.
Should You Watch This Movie?
Lake of Fire is the perfect example of a balanced documentary and gives the viewer an eye opening look at the issue of abortion.
