saw this in theaters years ago, it is wild

Fascinating documentary.

Just watch it, please. Speechless about the story. Very good movie

Actions have consequences and what the media writes about your actions have further consequences, that's the way it snowballs with this disaster, sad that our antagonist does not join the dots, perhaps too caught up about her own fantasy of herself.

A very nice documentary that fits into the true crime slot, the tabloid sensation recollected in tranquility slot, or just the weird and wild confessional slot. This is an unbelievable story about a beauty queen trying to rescue her lover from the Mormon church and achieving tabloid immortality in the process. A riveting story.

Not the best documentary Mr. Morris has ever created, as frankly the topic of the film is quite limiting in itself. Despite this, the story is fully explored and presented in a way that makes the film quite entertaining, albeit it could never really be super interesting. In the end, it's just talking heads that tell a story about a ultra eccentric, self-centered, obsessive, half-mad former beauty queen.

In Joyce McKinney's own words about her love interest, Kirk, she says "You know, you can tell a lie long enough until you believe it." Pot, meet kettle. By the end of this journey through her endeavors to capture the man of her dreams, I think the audience will be left between two signposts that read: "Who cares?" and "WTF??" As we have learned, there's a third signpost not too far up ahead and that one is "The Twilight Zone."

"Tabloid" is a fascinating documentary in the way it reveals how a person can create their own mythos, no matter how off-the-wall their obsession may be. I won't go in to details since the filmmaker does a great job un-peeling the layers that are Joyce McKinney.

Watching Tabloid is almost as good as getting drunk while watching Intervention. I would recommend this to any woman who feels like an outcast or just plain mentally imbalanced at times, because this lady is so bat shoot bananas that it's made me feel well adjusted in a way that years of therapy could never have accomplish. I put Tabloid on because I was doing a paint-by-number & I needed something dumb to listen to. My paint by numbers are rather awesome, btw, but this train wreck eventually pulled me away. A good watch while making dinner, if that's something you're into.

It gives equal treatment to all perspectives on the incident that it's about but this is not as good as Errol Morris usually is.

Pretty good movie, but it seemed pretty anticlimactic. Just seemed like a bunch of random sections of Joyce's life put into one. Pretty intriguing movie, but it really couldn't capture my interest.

Cool story of the effect of being in a cult (mormons) and media sensationalism/cooperation with the media machine in the midst of a "scandal." This wouldn't be much of a story now-a-days.

Minor entry in the Errol Morris canon doesn't have artistic flair of his past documentaries, but it sure tells a heck of an entertaining tale.

Great, as all his films are.

-Tabloid is een 2010 Amerikaanse documentaire geregisseerd door Errol Morris. Het vertelt het verhaal van Joyce McKinney, die in 1977 werd beschuldigd van ontvoering en verkrachting van Kirk Anderson, een Amerikaanse Mormoonse missionaris. Het incident, bekend als de Mormoonse seks met kettingen zaak, werd een belangrijke tabloid verhaal in het Verenigd Koninkrijk en ontketende een circulatie gevecht tussen twee populaire tabloids, de Daily Mirror en de Daily Express. -De film is gebaseerd op interviews van McKinney, journalist Peter Tory (1939-2012) en fotograaf Kent Gavin uitgevoerd door Morris. De film verwijst naar de Mormoonse cultuur, zoals temple kledingstukken. --Gerechtelijke stappen tegen Morris: -In november 2011, Joyce McKinney spande een rechtszaak met het Los Angeles Superior Court tegen Errol Morris, stellende dat Morris en zijn producent Mark Lipson haar vertelde dat ze waren aan het filmen voor een 온라인카지노추천-documentaire serie over de paparazzi. McKinney klaagt aan over het feit dat zij werd belasterd, want de film portretteert haar als "gek, een sex dader, een S&M prostituee, en/of een verkrachter."

The Strange, Perplexing Truth: You can never trust a tabloid to tell the truth. Often times the 'news' that are reported in them are skewed in such a way to boost sales, or are most often... down right wrong. Errol Morris cuts through the strange story of Joyce McKinney's lifetime of gossipy headlines in a series of interesting interviews in this documentary. I personally had never heard of the former Miss Wyoming, who broke headlines in the 1970's, when she and a few compatriots traveled to England after planning the abduction of a man involved in the Mormon religion. Kirk Anderson was a young man who met Joyce near Salt Lake City in the U.S some time before committing himself to his faith. There was some sort of love affair between the two, and even promises of marriage, kids and a life together. Then one day, quite suddenly and with no explanation, he leaves for England. I was quite saddened by the way she told this story, and it's pretty obvious how much she loved this man, and normally when a man runs off without saying goodbye, it's pretty understandable that the relationship is over. But not for Joyce. She wasn't taking no for an answer. The story that unfolds is pretty wild, but an absolute pleasure to watch. What makes it so interesting is the way Joyce tells the story, as the events get wilder and wilder, stranger and stranger until you have to ask yourself, 'Is this actually what happened?' She tells the story with an absolute certainty that it happened the way she tells it, and there are other interviewees that contribute to the wild tale that unfolds. However it's her personality that makes it really shine. She comes off as a happy, carefree kind of person. A real southern belle with a attitude of such nonchalance, that you can't help but smile when she describes some of the more, shall we say, illegal activities she committed. The film shows us how far some people are willing to go for desire, even to the point of unbelievable madness. There is a bit of a sweet seaway in the main story at the end, that actually shows her obsession very well, but I couldn't help but smile at how nuts she is... but in a nice way. Certainly a sad story, perplexing at times, and simply hilarious as well. 4/5

What a crazy story!!! Pretty sure I saw this before but loved it once again!!!

Though not quite on par with last year's Exit Through the Gift Shop, Errol Morris' Tabloid is the perfect antidote to the typical intensity and seriousness among a given year's crop of non-fiction films. Tabloid doesn't have high aspirations-it just throws this bizarre and complicated story at you, and let's you choose what you want to believe. But my goodness, what a wacky and compelling story he gives us. Tabloid, on the simplest level, is about one very unusual person-Joyce McKinney. A former Miss Wyoming, McKinney became a tabloid sensation after she was accused of kidnapping and raping a Mormon missionary in England during the 1970s. That's the accuser's version of the story. McKinney (who gets the lion's share of the interviews in Tabloid) tells a different version. She details an intensely passionate love with a young Mormon man who suddenly disappeared. Not willing to give up on him, McKinney traces him to England, where he willingly escapes the "cult members" he's with to a cottage in the countryside. There, they spend three days having wild sex before he tragically goes back to the Mormons, who fabricate this malicious story. The film is all story. Morris just sits back and lets the involved parties sell us on their version of the events, and I think it's pretty clear the truth lies somewhere between Joyce's story and Kirk's (the missionary, who decided not to participate). Joyce is certainly convincing, but there's more than enough evidence to show she's not presenting the whole truth. Really, though, getting to the truth of the story isn't what Morris is concerned about. If he comments on anything, it's the perverse obsession we have with lurid gossip like this. After fleeing England (a pretty damning move, if you ask me), she's never extradited back. For all intents and purposes, the story could have ended there. Kirk moved on and got married. Joyce attempted to find solace and solitude. But still, people wanted to know more about this odd woman. Hell, so did I. I may not have read the tabloids Joyce claims ruined her life, but I found myself fascinated by her story, nonetheless. http://www.johnlikesmovies.com/tabloid/

Where does Morris find this shit?

Doc didn't interest me much.
