Very little of the information in 'Totally Under Control' isn't out there for people to access. There were many moments when my brain resurrected the memory of the various revelations it delivers. Like any solid documentary though, the film collates that information and prepares it into a clear and structured timeline, demonstrating how one bad decision inevitably leads to another. This ends up being its greatest gift - in a year where the world turns upside down not just daily but sometimes hourly, it is useful to be reminded of everything that has come before. 'Totally Under Control' might not be a film that will last, but it's certainly one that feels necessary right now. - Daniel Lammin
