A documentary on a former Miss Wyoming who is charged with abducting and imprisoning a young Mormon Missionary. A documentary on a former Miss Wyoming who is charged with abducting and imprisoning a young Mormon Missionary. What a joy it is to see certain absurdities in life and perspective and truth as filtered through the vision of Errol Morris.
The documentarian is well known for his particular style of filmmaking, the kind that mixes interviews and information with a distinct cinematic style. If he can keep his subjects talking, they are bound to say just about anything, as was the case in The Thin Blue Line when a murderer who got away with his crime eventually confesses to the director in an interview. I also have a particular fondness for the types of things he obsesses on, such as a 15000 word essay on two photos of cannon balls on a roadway from the Crimean war.
Then there is his documentary on a Pet Cemetery and its customers. The man has range, which brings us to… Bondage, Beauty Queens, Kidnapping, Mormons and Dog Cloning – how do they all connect? Through the British Tabloid rags of course and the longevity of one particular story back in the late 1970s about a North Carolina girl named Joyce McKinney who allegedly raped her boyfriend. At one point during the peak of the “Manacled Mormon Slave Story,” paparazzi-explosion two competing papers ran opposite stories. The first painted Joyce as an innocent woman desperate to get her cult brain-washed boyfriend back to her, while the other proudly pasted nude pictures on the front cover and elaborated on the and bondage operation she ran under the alias “Joey,” several years before the kidnapping. The truth, of course, is somewhere in the middle, yet impossible to fully get considering the time passed, egos involved, and just a little bit of craziness on Joyce’s part. Nevertheless, it is the journey, not the destination that is such a wonderful dollop of entertainment in Tabloid.
It turns out that Joyce is as obsessive as Morris can be in regards to love of her life, Kirk Anderson. She was a former beauty queen (Miss Wyoming), he a former Mormon priest-in-training. When Kirk left Joyce on a Mormon mission to Britain, she was suspicious that he was sent on the mission by the church to keep them apart. She does what any sensible (*ahem*) American woman would do; that is grab a few friends, hire a bodyguard and pilot and go to the UK to get her man back, by force if necessary. A replica gun and surveillance equipment was brought along just in case.

Morris approaches the subject with his usual inquiring eye, interviewing one of the original journalists, a photographer who works for a rival newspaper, the airplane pilot who flew Joyce to the UK as was marginally involved in the alleged kidnapping scheme, and an ex-Mormon fellow that has certain things to say about the Church of Latter Day Saints. All of these guys are quirky and entertaining fellows unto themselves, but most of the interview time is spent with Joyce who is an expressive, lively kook of a lady. Clearly she believes what she is saying, and is smart enough (apparently a 168 IQ) to understand herself that you repeat something to yourself long enough you probably start to believe it. To underscore this, and her obsessive nature, orris actually repeats a shot of Joyce filming the grounds of her family farm, five times, five slightly different takes. Again one could consider this a point of the dovetailing of Morris and McKinney’s obsessions, through photography at least, they are kindred spirits – her the do-er, him the seeker.
For the most part, the director just gives Joyce enough rope to hang herself, while himself obsession on the ambiguity and duality of the factual and anecdotal evidence. McKinney remains endearing at a distance. Things meander into the ridiculous with corn-pone expressions such as “You can’t stuff a marshmallow into a parking meter!” That would be Joyce’s particular way of describing non-consensual male .
