Reviews (1)
An unhappy relationship with a most unhappy ending. This two-part documentary presents the whole case, with proponents of both camps, and those standing somewhere in the middle, having their say. I found the whole thing quite fair and not favoring either side. Basically, it is a nicely crafted presentation of the case. I found it a bit unnecessary to include the voices of the public, but at least you are reminded about the influence of the media and how little the mob needs to know in order to get things straight. I got a sense of it, of course I have my opinions, but I'm glad I don't have to be the judge. Michelle is definitely not an innocent little girl, her texts speak volumes; but on the other hand, the relationship wasn't toxic from one side alone.
