This movie shows that Stormy Daniels shows a huge amount of courage by standing up for herself against one of the most dangerous people in American history. The documentary remains fascinating throughout, because the story is fascinating throughout. I have a newfound respect for Stormy Daniels; where she came from, and where she got to by never giving up. Unfortunately, her story is not that different from too many women today who have suffered under men who would abuse them, and take them for granted. I hope this documentary broadcasts her story to many more people, so that they can know the truth of what happened to her.

Although I can see why fans see this as making him seem too fragile, I disagree. I actually enjoyed it. I thought the Tony Visconti-produced Moonage Daydream to be nothing more than a promo film for his music with nothing new about him, this film uses Bowie's first foray to the US as a window into how he may have been before becoming a major star. Although flawed (it lacks any evidence of Bowie's famous sense of humour, and his hair is just terrible, when we know it was gorgeous), I thought it was respectful but not worshipping. I think it's worth a watch. The main actors do a great job in their roles.
