My Winnipeg

I found My Winnipeg entertaining, but a little hard to watch.
The film is a fantastical documentary construction of the director's home town. Therefore, before I watched the film, I expected a happy documentary showing his beloved home town in an endearing light - however, all my expectations were shattered!
I found the style of the film quite hard to follow at first - the documentary style is quite unsettling next to the fantasy elements for a viewer. But once I accepted this, it was easier to watch and understand.
However, I was confused as to how the director actually felt about his home town. The topics themselves were often morbid, yet they were presented in a comedic style much of the time. So how does the director feel about his home town?
