If you're in the mood for a tragicomic documentary, the startlingly original "Finders Keepers" fills the bill.

What starts out as a freak show ends up a poignant tale of tragedy, redemption, and the boon of taxidermy.

What starts out alternately comic and catastrophic ends in unforeseen poignancy in "Finders Keepers," a documentary that proves that truth is stranger than fiction. Way stranger.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
