Pablo B @PabloBlanco May 20 It’s honestly difficult to categorize this as a true documentary, as it falls short in terms of basic journalistic integrity. With George Clooney involved as the producer, there’s inevitably a significant degree of bias, especially considering Clooney’s well-known activism. Most of the research I’ve come across suggests that, while there is a kernel of truth in the narrative, the filmmakers have taken quite a few creative liberties along the way.

I hope these men get justice and that the parties that have done wrong find the peace that comes with honesty and accountability. My stomach turned watching one after another shameful act - the evil deeds of Dr. Strauss, the cowardice of Jim Jordan, the betrayal of silence by Russ Hellickson, the disgusting complicity of Ohio State, the committed idiocy of the uninformed on social media. It’s an indictment of us all. I hope everyone sees this documentary - that all students, alumni, parents, teachers at OSU write letters saying, if you don’t do the right thing, we are done with you. OSU needs to feel it in their reputation and pocketbook. I have no OSU affiliation, but I’ll write one. OSU needs to take responsibility for their abject failure in their prime duty - take care of young folks. Do the right thing, OSU. And do it now.

I also saw it to see Jim Jordan's perspective since I had worked with him on some federal issues. Saw on HBO.

This was Vice TV level quality for an issue that carried so much weight. See more Lynsey M @RT52030142 08/12/2025 A documentary that everyone should watch. I was seething with anger by the end. These poor men, lives forever affected by an evil predator. But the real villains are perhaps even worse. Very well done! See more Jace T @CineChamber 08/11/2025 Wow. What an absolutely devastating and horrifying story told by people who have no reason to tell it other than seeking accountability and justice. This documentary is very well crafted, and the stories told here are powerful. It absolute astounds me that large organization like this, and people in positions of power can hide truths of "open secrets" like these allegations again Richard Strauss. I truly hope this documentary helps move this case forward, and the victims and survivors of this situation can find peace and justice. I will always call to hold accountability to power. The Ohio State University, Russ Hellickson, and congressman Jim Jordan deserve to have the walls of truth come crashing down around them. See more Read all reviews
