Allen v. Farrow

It seems as if many of the 1 star reviews were made before the show even aired (?) or after only 1 episode. Episode 3 aired last night and delved into the facts of the case and the investigation ...and it is very damming for Woody Allen and shows how the things that were done in 1992, likely would not have happened if it occured in 2020. It also refutes numerous problems with the findings, as well as showing how only 2-9% of victims "make up" a story...meaning about a 91-98% chance that something happened. I believe Woody Allen has already been cancelled essentially by most of Hollywood, but many people do not know this story and he is apparently still using his power and influence to buy 1 star reviews. Trying to silence the opposition - which is exactly what this documentary is about. It is similar to the unsettling feeling of the Micheal Jackson documentary which also had people trying to rail against it. It is absolutely worth seeing, is well done, and is thought provoking in how the events of that time are seen much differently from the lens of 2020. (Not in 1992 in which Woody Allen controlled the narrative, and seemingly everything about the case.)

I see many are saying this documentary is biased and presents only one side. Allen said his "truth" out loud back in the 90's when he attacked with all weapons, based on his money, connections and popularity. Nobody heard Farrow back then. So it is Farrow's turn to tell her story. I'm pleased she talked, so women become aware how dangerous narcissistic men can be.

I grew up with Woody Allen's humor which I appreciate much more than his films, not all of which are comedies. His stand-up stuff and the goofy books he wrote ("Without Feathers" and "Side Effects") along with the Marx Bothers shaped my sense of humor. Allen was a complete original and a comic genius.

I thought he was creepy ever since I saw "Manhattan" when it premiered in 1979 and his character is dating a 17-year-old girl when he's in his mid-40s. Sorry, there is no scenario when that isn't just creepy, not even in a movie-especially not in a movie. File that movie under "Ew." He made an actual movie about having sex with a child. What more evidence does anyone need?

If you needed further evidence to his creepiness, he married his step-daughter, or whatever she was. Dude, if you don't want to sully your reputations, stay away from children.

Then we learn in this documentary that Allen's favorite foreplay is watching his partner play with Lego®.

Rim shot, polite clapping, and I take a bow.

Goodnight, ladies and gentlemen. I'm here six nights a week with a matinee on Saturdays.

I judged this before watching and I regret it. It's very dark and wonderfully done and even though it tells one side, it is a very compelling one. Mia does come off very sincere, it's sad we live in a day where women are discredited and attacked so easily. She is a loving mom and I could tell she just really loved her children.

Well made documentary and excellently told story. This needs to be seen by all. I have seen the hole series and I found it to be shockingly truthful. It is visually beautiful and well edited, even if it is so heartbreaking. Dick and Ziering build up a strong piece with new never shown material, footage and recorded phone calls, combined with interviews with prosecutors, witnesses and child psychologists. They don't choose the truth, it was out there and they grabbed for i, cause it cannot be ignored anymore. This is a story about a horrible family tragedy, but it is also a story of our culture, and the context we live in, a context that lets powerful men off the hook. It's about lack of justice and what part media plays in it. In the core, how ever, is a little girl who was stolen of her innocence and childhood, who was not heard or believed. This little girl is a grown woman now, and it's time to listen to her.
