Part of me finds Mark Kermode to be quite insufferable but there’s no doubt this is a well made in interesting doc.

Mark Kermode the man you are.
There’s only one moment in this where they have Friedkin and Blatty in the same room. They argue about the spider walk sequence and we see Blatty realise in real-time how he should have written it and Friedkin agrees. It’s magic and hilarious.
