Spike H What a sad way to refresh this case for the poor father. He must have thought that it was great to get it into the public eye but the choice of "experts" and talking heads was laughable. Honestly, Mr Ramsay deserved better but he must be cringing that whoever produced this could not find better people to represent the case. They were all pretty bad but the lady with studs round her eye who used to live in Boulder was the worst by far - incredible really when you see that Boulder is quite a sophisticated town and it must be teeming with people who would both look and sound good on camera. An opportunity missed. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review inta k weirdest documentary ever. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review jen d If you are a True Crime consumer in general and want this film to stick to the genre - that is take a stab at solving the murder with paid experts offering the lurid detail in clinical tones - you will be gravely disappointed (as the audience reviews show) but if you are even vaguely interested in what makes humans tick, how crimes become distorted in the media and in our assessments - you will find this fascinating and even brilliant. It is even better on a second viewing. (If you want an in-depth, smart and factual overview of the case itself - watch Matt Orchard's documentary on Youtube). Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/23 Full Review william k Unusual documentary hybrid takes the occasion of a casting to shine indirect light on a high-profile unsolved true crime mystery; fascinating and unsettling at the same time it does presume that its audience already is informed about the actual case. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A down right bad "movie", that's another thing what do you even call this? Netflix tries to exist between the two worlds of documentary and movie/dramatization and it just doesn't work on any level. The actors give details on the events surrounding the Jon Benet case, but they do so in a way that is non chalant, even asking for direction on the details of the story from directors which somehow doesnt get edited out..for what reason? Such a strange...creation..? Not worth your time Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Truly terrible idea for a movie. Why should I care what random actors think about JonBenet? What they read in tabloids or heard on TV? Just poll people on the street. These actors do not have a greater insight into the case. The nonsensical premise isn't elevated by the execution. There's no plot or driving force. Skip this weird, poorly conceived film.
