Fascinating, well made and not what I was expecting...

The documentary covers the rise to fame of Sam Cox aka Mr Doodle, who is best known for his exploits in Doodling a Kent mansion inside and out which was internationally televised a few years ago.

The film takes you into the mind of Mr Doodle, how the character and his art evolved, his rise to fame in the art industry and making Sam one of the most successful young artists in the world.

The story takes a rather dark turn where being Mr Doodle completely consumes Sam, in a way that I can only compare to a supervillain from a Marvel movie, the sometimes haunting and tearful path even has a few funny moments, it's not a light watch and is as much about the psychology of Mr Doodle as it is the art. I'm not a regular documentary viewer but this one had me hooked.
