Dear Kelly

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I saw it in July of 2024 in New York City while Andrew was on his movie tour. It's done in the classic Channel 5 style, but went very in-depth on a single persons journey, breaking down all of the variables that led him to become the person he is, and exploring potential solutions for healing. It's clear that an immense amount of time, planning and research went into this project, and it definitely paid off. It was an entertaining, funny, sad, and informative documentary. If you have seen and enjoyed any of Andrew's other work than this is a must see. Very pleased.

Andrew has done it again. Movie actually pulls the heart strings quite well at times. Its a blend of Chanel 5 at its best. At times uproariously funny, others thoughtful and provactive. This will hit xtra hard of course if you've been a fan of the channel for a while, but I honestly think that there's something everyone can take away from this about the human experience, media literacy, and life in the post COVID era. At the end of the day, people are just people, and they are flawed, but you love them anyway- even if you have to love them from a distance. I think this doc follows in the vain of Hunter S Thompson will a boots on ground look at the what the good doctor would call "these strange and savage times"

This documentary had me going through a lot of emotions, having dealt with something similar although not as extreme with my own father it was a great way to get perspective on what makes people change the way they do. Kelly is just one more person of thousands of individuals going through similar hardships but in the end we are all human beings, looking and hoping for a better future.

I do wish the documentary had a more neutral tone on Kelly's issues as I think other people going through a similar situation may close themselves off to the narrative.

I highly recommend people to watch it, the pacing of the documentary is great and keeps you interested, great job channel 5.

Callaghan is clearing grasping at straws (admittedly) here attempting to expose the entire right as mentally unstable. He clearly rips off several brands here (John Wilson's titles, A&E's Intervention, too many YTers to mention) and his once quirky awkward style is exposed as just laziness and incompetence.

This documentary has zero direction, an ambiguous ending, and it's honestly just a cobbelled-together mess. Andrew is just throwing stuff at the wall here and nothing sticks, as demonstrated near the end of the film where he admits incompetence and throws together a pointless intervention trying to save the film.

This film is beyond saving.

"Dear Kelly" is a gripping documentary that takes a look at the pshycological effects of trauma in men in modern america. From a basic setup the film delves into the life of its title character. This film takes a look at the effects of unchecked mental issues in every day americans and how those issues can effect our loved ones.

I recommend this film. I feel like it was a bit long. I was curious to see where the story went but about half way through I assumed it would end one particular way. I was disappointed when I was right. Also, I am slightly disappointed that there was no moral to the film. Being brainwashed into the political war debate is scary. I wish this film came to a conclusion on the issue and how to resolve it.
