Who'll love it
One for people who love a true story told well. You'll come away knowing something you didn't.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace

What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

When a group of young DIY artists in Santa Fe can’t find a door into the art world, they blow open an entirely new portal with their grit, passion, and tenacity. Within just a few short years – and with a little help from George R.R. Martin – this group called Meow Wolf ultimately hits a cultural nerve and garners massive, unexpected success with their exhibit, House of Eternal Return.
