'Too Much Sugar' Documentary Wins Praise for Family Portrait

A new documentary from filmmaker Robert Greene is earning strong notice for its portrait of an extended family, according to a review from Variety Film. Titled "Too Much Sugar," the film treats each family member as a central figure in its story rather than a supporting one. Variety described the documentary as lively and inventive, capturing a family whose history extends into a broader community around them. The review pointed to the film's mix of present-day moments with years of accumulated backstory as part of what makes it stand out.
