Word Wars
A documentary about Scrabble tournaments. What seems like a possibly dull film is well-done with a lot of personality. The film tracks 4 people as they vie for the title of Scrabble Champion.
What gets me is how these people are able to see anagrams and 7 letter words at the drop of a hat.
Believe it or not, there is tension and suspense - albeit minor - in this film. Not the greatest film ever made, but definitely worth watching.
4/5
