Who Done It: The Clue Documentary

Video is overly compressed, audio sounds like they used a $10 temu microphone, compressed the audio mix, then compressed the whole movie again so they could make it fit on a cheap thumb drive for distribution.

I mean pirated movies shot over someone's shoulder in a theater on a handheld VHS camcorder that you could buy on the street in any major city were more watchable than this. We bailed out after suffering through 10 minutes waiting for it to get better. We were hoping they were doing a schtick and it would jump to a nice smooth & crisp image with clear audio, but if they did that, it happened too late.

Look, if you LOVE Clue this is a lovely cozy documentary. It's not perfect, but it's very charming. I wish the director had less bits about themselves, and had more polish; but they managed to capture some real gems in honor of the people who made Clue.

I really enjoyed hearing so much from the director, and I loved hearing about who they considered to play the roles originally. I also thought there was good tea about the Hollywood system; and I feel like the director hit every part of what goes into making a movie.

I really love the movie Clue and it's clear the director does as well! Lovely.

I love Clue!! Like recite the lines, kinda fan but this? Not great. Who cares about how a record label started that puts out a Clue soundtrack? The director did a terrible job of editing the people being interviewed. Didn't dig deep into the movie like they could.

And spent way too much time on these satellite projects and theatrical productions, merch selling and you tube people.

Considering they had interviews with Leslie Anne Warren and Mike McKean I really feel like they could have dove in a lot deeper. I really had high hopes but clearly this is a first time documentarian and it shows.

So disappointing.

I remember going to the theater with my closest friends to watch Clue. We all agreed that it was a a good movie but we wanted more. We thought it could have been better. The cast was superb.

But, this documentary ...while it does give interesting information about the making of the movie, it was presented in such a boring manner that I quickly find myself falling asleep. The interviews were at times very long and lacking in depth and substance.

Although this documentary was made in 2022, the quality is so low it looks and sounds like it is from the 80's. I understand it might be the director's first project, and yeah...it shows.

I got up to grab a snack and hit pause. When I noticed it wasn't even halfway through, I decided to cut my losses and switch to something else.

I wanted to love this so much but just couldn't. There are very few of the main cast actually being spoken to and a huge chunk of the documentary is just videos from conventions or interviews with people who had absolutely nothing to do with the movie.

Yes unfortunately some of the cast are no longer with us and that is very sad as obviously there is no way to interview them or get their input.

Clearly most of the people who are however just simply didn't want to be involved in this which is unfortunate also.

You may find out some information you didn't previously know but it will be very little.

I'd recommend just watching the movie and pretend that this isn't even a thing.
