The Tallest Dwarf

As a documentary on dwarf identity, medical concerns, and other topics devoted to this group, there’s enough appeal, but it’s not as compelling as the documentary the title promises.

Mixing moving archival and present-day footage, Wyman crafts a beautiful narrative that celebrates diversity, while also following evolving discussions with her father about how he perceives her shape and his own.

First, it educates. The film goes deep while also only scratching the surface of the lives of little people... Second, it asks tough questions and presents arguments on both sides.

Has a lot of interesting themes and fascinating subjects, but not enough to justify its feature length.
