Overall, the filmmaker seemed to choose people according to some 
non-obvious scheme. I think few good arguments were shown from critics 
or supporters, yet he had apparently filmed a whole host of people who 
did not even appear in the film. But I suspect he was less interested in 
a talking heads movie where people give firm arguments and rebuttals, 
and more a movie about the grand circle around Ray.

I recognized it, and was pretty amused by knowing that I was indirectly 
in the movie, only visible in reflections in wine glasses and 
chandeliers :-)
