Paul C I did actually watch this documentary, spent money to rent it even, and thought it was quite fair at looking at both sides of the prickly subject discussed. It’s well put together. And so far the best doc about the CK scandal, since no one else has covered it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review J E I believe that this film does its job very well. With clarity in its mission to condemn Louis C.K.’s behavior, “Sorry/Not Sorry” still manages to present itself with both humor and earnestness. While tackling the stark controversy surrounding the comedic icon, a lighthearted tone is somehow maintained throughout the documentary. At points, the quasi cancelled comedian is even portrayed in a quasi affectionate light. As any compelling and provocative documentary should, it makes a necessary statement while acknowledging its converse. Victims, fans, and associates both past and present were all given an equal voice here. The fact that this film centering on backlash is now receiving backlash only serves to underscore its purpose. This movie is apparent in its stance and appropriate in its execution. I’d recommend it to anyone familiar with Louie regardless of their opinion of him. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review David F An interesting look into the Louis CK chapter of the #MeToo movement. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Elizabeth B Excellent documentary about the lack of consequences for Louis CK and all the men in comedy who excused his behavior. I’ve never written a review before but had to when I saw the 20% audience score for this movie. To the Louis CK fans who have review bombed this doc (probably without watching it) you are kind of proving the point of the documentary. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review a p This was a gripping decomposition of the Louis CK scandal and the cultural context in which it occurred -- and is still ongoing. A former huge Louis CK fan, I was shocked to learn that in fact I had not been told the full truth and Louis himself has spun events to make it all seem like "the womens' misunderstanding." But in fact, his actions were clearly abuse all along, and he knew it then, and he knows it now -- which is why he changed his tune after his initial "apology" to better preserve his own career. Both his acts in the first place and the reaction to them (which now include a sizeable, predominantly fratty fanbase) tell volumes about our culture, as the women in Louis' orbit were victimized then, and are being re-victimized now by Louis (and even people like Dave Chappelle), for their own fun and profit. So this documentary makes clear that even after the "Me Too" movement, we have a long way to go before women are treated in our culture as first-class human beings. Why? Because we can all agree that rape and other overt physical sexual assaults are bad, but way way too many people still think intimidation and manipulation of women is just fine -- they should just "buck up!"
