Tickled

Watching Tickled is best when no one tells you what’s going to happen, or what it’s about, other than this: journalist David Farrier happens to find a strange video online for a sport called “competitive endurance tickling.” When he tries to contact the person responsible for posting the video to do a short news story, the response comes laced with such vitriol that he’s compelled to dig deeper to discover what would spark such a reaction. What he finds is bigger and more bizarre than anything you’re likely to imagine. Launched into an increasingly complicated series of stories and situations, Farrier crafts a compelling investigation into a truly peculiar phenomenon that becomes both disturbing and dangerous, guiding the audience deftly through an experience they won’t be able to forget.
