David Farrier and Dylan Reeves documentaryTickledis so crazy that it feels like a hoax.
At least, I dont think it is.
These werent just harmlessly kinky soft-core fetish videos.
Who were the patrons of these athletes?
And who exactly was the audience for this sport?
Farrier needed to know.
And what hed discover would end up sucking him down a rabbit hole of techno-deviance and criminality.
When he approaches the shadowy company behind these videos, he gets a surprising response.
Hes not only stonewalled but also personally harassed.
His sexual orientation is mocked, and hes threatened with an avalanche of lawsuits if he digs any deeper.
So he picks up his camera and dives in like Michael Moore raiding a sex dungeon.
As an expose,Tickledis a compelling, stranger-than-fiction procedural.
What starts as silly becomes nothing to laugh at.A
