as if you cared: it's kim's review of "the cove"!

winner of a gazillion awards, including the 2009 golden space needle for best documentary at the seattle international film festival, the cove is a documentary-lover's documentary. it blends great directing, fascinating players and a slice of horrifying reality to produce a film that is emotional, engaging, funny, thrilling and poignant.

but the cove is much more than a movie about dolphins: it's also activist richard o'barry's mea culpa. o'barry is the film's central player, and its his 40-year fight for both dolphin justice *and* his own redemption that make the cove the one of the best films of the year.

top ten.
