The shocking truth is uncomfortably pursued to its fullest, and the result is a riveting piece of investigative journalism.

It's not a film you'll soon forget.

David Farrier and Dylan Reeve's Tickled defies belief and almost description.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 27, 2016

Tickled is an unexpectedly engrossing documentary that's built around the hitherto unexplored (on film anyway) world of "competitive endurance tickling".

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 10, 2016

It would be unfair to spoil the surprises in David Farrier and Dylan Reeve's investigative documentary Tickled, but the premise should be enough to draw you in.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 25, 2016

More meaningfully, Tickled offers an anatomy of intimidation that feels particularly relevant for our post-Gamergate times.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 22, 2016

It's hard to explain how cleverly the film is structured without giving away crucial twists.

| Aug 21, 2016

A fascinating piece of investigative film-making about a subject that is not nearly as innocuously fluffy as it sounds.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 21, 2016

Like Stories We Tell or Dig!, Tickled subverts your expectations. Definitely strange rather than ha-ha.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 18, 2016

Tickled starts out being a documentary about how funny-weird the internet is, gradually crosses the loose, porous line into how scary-weird it is, and proceeds down one particular rabbit-hole which has nothing reassuringly cuddly at the end of it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 18, 2016

A stranger-than-fiction voyage into that cultural abyss known as the internet.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 18, 2016

Unexpected and brilliant.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 15, 2016

Tickled doesn't quite answer all of the questions it brings up... but it is a fascinating and disturbing descent into a particular online underworld that continues to confirm that the internet is a vast and mysterious place.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 7, 2016

The film is an investigative thriller that unravels the deep web of lies, threats and deceit that festers in the dark corners of the internet, and shows how online behavior can have damaging, real-world implications.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 1, 2016

It's fun, exciting, freakish filmmaking.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 1, 2016

There are lessons to be learned here; hopefully, they will shine through the murk.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 30, 2016

These are really stories about power, shame, and the law.

| Jun 30, 2016

Like the activity of its title, "Tickled" is funny until it most decidedly isn't.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 30, 2016

Not quite answering every question it asks, "Tickled" still opens a dangerous "can of worms" of stranger-than-fiction journalism.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 30, 2016

The dangers of the internet have rarely been presented so convincingly.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 30, 2016
