Undercurrent: The Disappearance of Kim Wall

Could have been done with one episode. Way to many unnecessary cut aways. Felt like it was in slow motion. Could have been much less boring. Not much else to add but 150 character requirement.

Exceptionally well made documentary on the disappearance and murder of an innocent journalist.

What starts out as a harmless interview and tour of a home made submarine with its owner, the story turns into one of mystery when only 1 person returns from what was supposed to be a short 2 hour tour out to sea.

The story of what happens is well told with the story flipping back and forth between interviews with different people so it keeps you guessing as to what actually happened. When the details finally came out I just sat there with my jaw on the floor asking why??

The details of what happened is nothing short of disturbing. The reason 'why' is as dark as it is evil.

I found this short 2-part documentary one of the best movies I've ever seen. It kept me guessing then knocked me out when it revealed the details of what occurred. The plot would make excellent material for a fictional, thriller movie - only this is true.

Highly recommend.

I watched ' The Investigation ' and I was enthralled but most would find that offering way too slow moving. So I was intrigued by this documentary with the same subject matter and I was not disappointed. An exploration of a seemingly random killing or actually bad luck; wrong place wrong time. Intelligent coverage of what was a such a sensational murder and criminal trial. Interesting, informative, sensitive rendering of a a tragic loss of a young curious female journalist trying to get a story. This documentary is everything that 'sensational media' discounts because they want the sensation and not necessarily the complete story. I have not watched much in this genre since I watched 'City Confidential' which I avidly watched a long time ago. This documentary is sensitive intelligent and extremely well executed.

It's really gross and sad to see reviews of this documentary that say it would have been better and could have been covered in less time if there was less focus on Kim's life, who she was as a person, and the people who loved her. Not only is that disgusting, but it also willfully ignores the point of telling these stories and, in fact, the entire point of this documentary (a point which was clearly expressed several times throughout). The point of true crime stories shouldn't be solely focusing on the killer and the crime. These stories shouldn't make the killers a household name while only focusing on the victim for as long as it takes to describe the worst day of their life. These stories need to show the other side of things- the void left in people's lives and in the world now that this person has been taken out of it. We know too many "famous" killers' names and yet next to nothing about their victims. This documentary does an amazing job of balancing the story and the trial with the human impact of Kim's death. It's just really pitiful that folks don't seem to have enough attention span for both.

I dont really understand the reviews saying that this was extremely slow and boring? I never heard about this crime before and for me it was not boring at all. It kept adding more and more gruesome disturbing details of what happened to this poor woman. The story's timeline was a bit annoying to follow in some places, but other then that it was a very interesting crime story, one of the most horrific I saw. I feel so sorry for the family and friends of the victim and of course they have the rigth to talk about the victim as much they want, if you are not interested don't watch. As for the killer there is not much to it, it is a psychological condition he has and he fulfilled his dream.
