Captivating

It was a really beautiful film and I was immediately drawn to the story after watching the trailer. The storytelling of this film was wonderful and truly illustrated the emotions and the feelings these children had to feel. The only issues I had with it were minor editing flaws that I saw but it could have also been a styling choice. All in all this was a beautiful film and I would recommend it to anyone who loves documentary's.

A very important story

Just too bad it was told very poorly. I kept getting distracted even though I wanted to know more. Wikipedia it is then.

A hot mess

I am a rabid fan of documentaries. I have seen hundreds. But this ranks as one of the worst.

It is "all over the map." It lacks cohesiveness, on so many levels.

I am quite shocked that it is on HBO.

By the halfway mark, I found it totally confusing. Of course, I understood the main concept. But interviews come across as haphazard, with no coherent structure.

The "story" is fascinating, but this documentary is far from it.

Structure matters. Don't throw a bunch of "stuff" in a blender.

I'm giving up. Wikipedia (ugh) will fill in the holes. And when I feel the need to go to Wikipedia, then the documentary has failed.

Why did he do it?

This is a documentary not a mystery film, so I won't call this review a spoiler.

Why he did it was partially answered, but not discussed was that we all want to be known for being successful. Fortier realized that with his sperm mixed in the chance of success increased.

As he became known for being successful (with lots of profit to boot) he kept doing what worked... mixing sperm specimens.

As mentioned, DNA testing was nonexistent at that time so he knew he'd be remembered for what he was: a VERY successful fertilization doctor.

Meh

The first half of this doc is boring as heck. The more interesting stuff, that the man was a serial abuser of any and everyone is buried in the last 1/3 of the movie. That is the most interesting angle, yet the film maker comes at the story from a totally different angle that leaves the viewer wondering where this whole thing is going. When things finally get interesting, the movie ends.
