I really enjoyed this movie as well. It was extra great seeing the process behind a couple of games I love (Fez and Super Meat Boy) and seeing someone I have talked to before do their thing (Edmund McMillen).
What I found most interesting was how zen Jonathon Blow was in comparison to the other guys. I also thought the movie humanized Phil Fish, who had gotten a pretty bad rap due to some of his arrogant behaviors and comments. It became apparent to me that the guy has some real self-esteem issues and cares immensely about how people perceive him and his work. It makes me not feel so bad about loving Fez so much.
I also felt pretty bad for these guys - they put it all on the line in a big way and hope that it pays off. They work extremely hard and lead a lifestyle I couldn't possibly imagine to realize their dreams. A lot of respect for these fellows and for the makers of the documentary who did an absolutely amazing job.
