The Verge reviews David Farrier’s Mister Organ, an unsettling documentary about Michael Organ and a New Zealand car-clamping dispute

David Farrier’s documentary Mister Organ follows Michael Organ, whom the excerpt describes as waging an intimate campaign of terror against people around him. The film begins with Farrier’s reporting on Bashford Antiques in Auckland, where cars were clamped and drivers were charged release fees of up to $760, coverage the excerpt says helped prompt government action.

For documentary buyers or editors, the reported setup shows how a concrete local dispute can serve as an accessible entry point into a darker character story. The trade-off is that the excerpt supports the film’s unsettling premise but gives limited evidence about its full structure, distribution, or audience response.
