“Ryan and I share a basic desire to correct the mistakes of our deadbeat fathers and stop the generational hurt by being good fathers ourselves.”<\/em> Watching films every single day and recommending films for a living has made me rather unsure if cinema is actually<\/em> having the positive impact that we all want to believe it is. Are people really<\/em> changing after watching new films? Are they actually learning more about the world? Are they really<\/em> growing & evolving after they experience new perspectives from other people? Thankfully there is one film that is capturing this change happening. Too Much Sugar<\/em> is a unique documentary hybrid film created and directed by American filmmaker Robert Greene. It just premiered at the 2026 Venice Film Festival<\/a> in the Orizzonti section though it really feels much more like a Sundance film through and through. It’s a clever meta filmmaking concept about addressing toxic masculinity by having two manly papas from a small town in Missouri confront themselves by making a film about themselves and their families.<\/p>\n
