I enjoyed the documentary. Thought it was well presented and well executed. However, the film should have explored the "tiger parent" concept much more in depth.

Good documentary, but heavily flawed in one major aspect
good viewing!
I really was into this film! Very interesting look at the spelling bee, and how Indian Americans have come to dominate the competition! I was pretty nerve wracked at the end for the three spellers that had been featured! My 12 year old daughter liked it too! A well done documentary!
We should all learn spelling.
An original Netflix documentary. It is about the children who participate in the spelling bee. In fact it masterfully documents how Hindu children have recently won this very American contest. The narrative is fabulous. Full of emotional moments and uncertainty. Shows children's struggle with a dictionary. It shows how being disciplined and parents are involved in educational processes helps not only to win a contest, but also to create people who contribute something more to this society. They handle frustration and defeat by way of encouragement. Interesting Quality. You show that one totally ignores and the importance of spelling.
