Unwatchable attempt of documentary, that's what I call this weird, bizarre-looking and bizarre-sounding mess of a project and it's not exactly
for what is trying to do. It's one of those rare walk-out (turn off is the better word) I ever did, and it's often said that without a full view one
shouldn't talk about anything, but for this one is needed. The future of documentaries, and possibly feature films, are doomed if that level of dumb
presentations keep going forward. My objections aren't for the whole case, it's about a unhinged AI in control of everything, no humans in charge were
behind this, except for Kevin Spacey's victims and other folks interviewed here.
One can say that everybody's heads already have a formed idea on what Kevin Spacey did or not did when it comes to the
sexual misconduct allegations, even after the innocent verdict and how he's trying to re-establish his career. I have my complaints about how Hollywood
dealt with him on terms of cancelling his future films, deleting him completely from "All the Money in the World" which in turn served to prove that
Hollywood executives should hear better when directors want to cast a certain actor for a specific role even though they won't attract audiences to better
box-office results (original choice Christopher Plummer won the role after Spacey filmed everything but the scandal came along, plan B in motion, Plummer got
back. Those awards nominations for him were a pitiful excuse, but also served as a message to Hollywood insiders).
Sapcey didn't do much to help after the exposure, starting with Anthony Rapp's tweets on the wake of metoo movement, then denounces came along and
what does the actor do? Says he's out and proud. There are things to be said about this, and related with the gay perspective too, but it's better not.
All we can say is that the man is trying to get back, and it'll depend on plenty of circumstances from audiences forgiveness, some embracing and it must
start with them and with whatever project he tries next, then it's up to the studio system think if he's worth a chance back.
Now comes the rant on this "thing". It's insanely unwatchable when we have to depend on a computer that keeps describing the images we're seeing;
the titles on the screen; and no one's trying hard to hide it. An AI who speaks with a British accent that sounds far more affected than the crystal
clear voices coming from BBC anchors, and it goes like "Kevin Spacey 1980 photo" and then we see such photo of his, cleanse and repeat. I mean, with a human looking back at
everything on post-production those moments would be edited out. Everything looked so annoying that I had to stop. The human element needed to be there,
at least to make me invest in seeing what the real folks had to say about Spacey conducts and all. And sadly, those issues can't be overlooked. Just hear
what's said about the people. I tried but couldn't after a while.
The issue needed to be adressed, needed to be told so we could have all sides of the story but unfortunately this wasn't the ideal scenario, neither
the desired presentation. Huge thumbs down to this, and I guess we'll have to wait for another production come along. 1/10.
