Vol au musée: Le plus grand cambriolage de l'histoire de l'art

Holy moly are these Netflix docs really reaching these days. They stretched what should have been a tight 45 min doc into a 4 episode 4hr slog. They veer off in so many directions with pointless interviews and filler.

Its bad when you can tell its filler.

It seems to be a trend lately to make these dime a dozen docs as long as possible instead of making them ya know...good. Look I get ppl are bored but you can't sacrifice quality for an over blown run time. Even if more eyes on the screen means more $$$.

This was a snoozer and gets a heavy pass from me.

Gets a sympathetic 3/10 for buddy who had all that duct tape on his hair.

This documentary series tells the story of the famous Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and what happened there one night back in March 1990, the most infamous art theft in history.

The case itself is a fascinating one, one I studied years ago, you will be shocked, you'll be surprised, you may also get a tiny bit bored.

This four part documentary series, was too long, the first two episodes are very good, they should have made this a two part series, the last two parts drag a bit, and unfortunately lack any real content.

It's of course very well made, contains some very interesting details, you will see the ripple effect of the crime, it took its toll on so many people associated with The Museum.

Lots of old rogues and criminals, it really is a good old fashioned rogues gallery, interesting to learn the fate of those suspected.

After a good start it just becomes a little too slow and conjecture based. 6/10.

Interesting topic told in a boring way A very interesting topic that was unfortunately told in a boring way. To date, a reward of 10 million US dollars has been offered for apprehending the perpetrators. In "The Greatest Art Theft in History", Netflix takes us into a particularly exciting case that is still puzzling. All in all, however, it falls short of expectations and goes in circles very interesting topic that was unfortunately told in a boring way.

Modern documentaries have perfected the art of turning a one-hour show into four 50+ minute parts. Other than excessive length and fluff, the show was interesting and entertaining.

Admittedly, nothing earth shattering is revealed or solved, but having no prior knowledge, I found the case quite interesting. There's some humor and quite a cast of characters involved. The interviewees are credible, in most cases it's those who were there as it happened.

This has got to be an embarrassing case for the FBI, who put a lot of resources to no result in all this time. I'm now interested and would love to know who really took these pieces and where they've been for all these years.
