Cameron J William Powell is a really fascinating person and basically everything that involves him is the best it can be, but the interviewer is kind of a jerk. He is VERY biased and clearly had a ax to grind. Oh also this movie is really short of a subject like this. I feel like you could’ve added at least an extra 10-20 minutes and been fine. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Benjamin P Overall it had a lot of interesting parts, but the filmmaker/interviewer was terrible. His obvious bias distracted from the subject and left many more important questions on the table. I can't help but wonder how much better this could have been if tackled by a different director. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Audience Member My review is has nothing to do do with the subject matter or the subjects ....the filmmaker's bias and moral high ground completely suffocate the entire film. I spent 80 minutes feeling sorry for Mr Powell and truly wish some other filmmaker had tackled this subject. He should be ashamed of himself. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I found the interviewer absolutely infuriating. He constantly ran around in circles during the film, which not only made the interview obviously confusing for Powell, but made the entire documentary miserable to sit through (despite the interesting subject matter). His blatantly accusatory nature when questioning Powell about the atrocities that readers of his book -which he pieced together angrily at 19 years old- committed was incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not a documentary to me. The director seem to have a dog in the fight and loses a lot of time in trying to lead the author to admit complicity in mass murder. Many interesting aspects could have been investigated, like "why teenage kids feel the need to blow up their school mates, is it because of a book or because we live in shitty society? "Was the Anarchist cook book common among teenager who felt to be rebels?" . The author of the book is responsible for discolising information to an audience which in some cases never even bothered to read the warning at the beginning, let alone understanding it. The information disclosed was potentially harmfull as the content of many tv series and movies nowadays, but luckily most of the people are not interested or too lazy to do anything with it, let alone a search on the internet. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting story but not that good of a document.
