Buried

Very interesting. I didn't care for Eileen, when she was on the stand and caught in lies, her facial expressions were priceless. It is hard to make an accurate decision because I don't know all the facts....but then neither did the jury. Horrible family, but daddy took her along to kill people?

It is a good documentary because it goes back and forth with the evidence, but sadly it does very little to round up a conclusion to educate us. Journalistic investigations could make peoples minds about moral dilemmas, change investigations and legal concepts. But this kind of aproach where nothing is added to what is known, doesnt really help.

It goes back and forth. Suggestive events during hypnosis was a big deal in the 80's. Plus the older sister being convinced he did it years prior. But...and this is a big but, you cannot deny his perversions after so much evidence was found in his home. Only a pedophile would keep such things in their home, plus child sized toys. Sickening. His lawyer makes me see red saying he's an innocent man. Pfft, he just wanted to win! Bet he wouldn't trust his client to be alone with his grandkids.

I'm sure this documentary about repressed memory is going to be very interesting to watch. I wouldn't normally write a review after only one episode but this show has a very unusual and off putting trademark the director seems to be trying out. Zeroing in on the eyeballs of each person being questioned. I'm telling you, the eyeball fills the screen. It's so big I have to turn away from the tv and ask my dog Chance " why, why in hell is he doing this.?" An.optometrist could do an eye exam on these people. Serious flaw in my opinion.

The case was unusual and creepy enough, that they didn't have to start by hitting us over the head with OH MY GOD DID THIS REALLY HAPPEN. Like yeah we get what the point is going to be, before it's even ten minutes in. I wish it had more respect for the viewer's intelligence, because given the subject matter, it could have been another Staircase or Brother's Keeper. But unfortunately, it just isn't that good.

Part of the problem is that we barely see any of what actually happened in court before there are voiced-over opinions about it. So this requires very little work, in a way, and doesn't allow us to come to any conclusions of our own before we're already being told what we should be paying attention to.

I might have liked it better if it had taken more time to let us see and hear these people (Eileen, her sisters and her mother) talk more first. But instead they put the memory experts in sort of randomly, closer to the beginning when it just wasn't even really clear why it mattered that much what they had to say.
