Has anyone seen this? I just saw it and I can listen to William Friedkin for hours. What a fantastic documentary wherein he just talks about all the influences, the creative nuances, methods of directing...

I've seen almost all the documentaries about The Exorcist, and most of what is featured in Leap of Faith are new and refreshing.

I just watched this last night on a whim and was quickly drawn into it. Friedkin is a very intelligent person and articulates his influences, opinions and methodology very well. I may not agree with everything he says (his revisionism of The Exorcist), nor care for some of the methods he used to get what he wanted out of his actors performances (shooting a shotgun on set for jump scares, smacking an actor to get a emotional reaction, etc) but he is a compelling raconteur. Anyone interesting in the craft of directing and making films, this is a must-view program.

Glad this is good. I always like listening to Friedkin and The Exorcist never gets old for me despite all the stuff that's around about it.

Interested to check this out too. Although screeners were not available, I'll be getting a copy this weekend and hope to have a review up soon after.

This documentary is firmly on my Top 10 of 2020. It's basically a master class on artistic inspiration and the creative process by a major filmmaker.
