I 24 volti di Billy Milligan

This documentary is chaotic, the storyline is as disjointed as the choppy editing. While the story is interesting, there is just too much going on and the doc tries to cover it all. Spending too much time in the first two episodes replaying the same interview footage and then rushing through 40 years in the last two episodes. Too many people were interviewed, and what was with the French psychologists?! A wild story but a poorly made documentary.

I'm sorry to say but I'm not sure the director of this documentary know what he is doing. The scenarios where the various actors are interviewed are hilarious out of place: inside a safe? Between two shelves? In a cell? Along some corridors? The editing is confusing, musics excessive.

The story is interesting but very poorly told.

This is a truly remarkable story, if you are interested in Mental Disorders of Criminals then this is the story you want to watch. Sadly this telling of the story is shocking, each episode feels like it's been on for hours and you're only half way through the episode, if it had been filmed differently you actually wouldn't mind this as you'd be enthralled by the story but oh my this is boring, why so many interviews with people who didn't add anything to the story? Why do the interviews to camera in strange locations to add drama ?

Clearly there was enough film of Billy under questioning by Police or Doctors to create a more interesting documentary.

I watched this and was very disappointed at how little they talked about the victims of this "person" It centered on making Billy the victim, trying to gather sympathy for him, and all the while the real victims are largely forgotten.

The story of Billy Milligan is fascinating, a serial rapist and habitual criminal, who had a unique defence, multiple personality disorder. The story is fascinating, if you have an interest in psychology, or indeed in films such as Split, there really is a fascinating story here.

My advice however would be to read the various texts published, as this production isn't good. This is the most over produced documentary series that you will ever see, the cutaways, made up footage, and interviews are all over the place, it is a jumbled mess.

Too many people are interviewed, and the information is all too sporadic, too chaotic, it makes it so difficult to follow and engage in.

There are some fascinating accounts, Billy's siblings are fascinating to hear, unfortunately the camera is zooming all over the place, and the music overtakes, which is a real shame.

A fascinating story, unfortunately it's an over produced mess, which is two episodes too long, 5/10.
