For context, I really liked the film. 7/10

It was a wild ride. Very entertaining and frankly quite funny at times. But my immersion kept breaking because it was SO over the top. Did anyone else feel this way? I feel like if this was a fictional story I could have bought in easier.

Most of what Lance Oppenheim was doing worked pretty well. The editing and directing have lots of personality, and he gave Robert Pattinson the chance to put out one of the most out-there performances of his career. It’s an incredibly style heavy film, and hits more than it misses in that regard. But when you’re telling a story that is “inspired by a true story” and effectively marketed itself as a retelling of true events, it felt quite deceptive seeing such a different story being told.

In a way it feels very unlike a Lance Oppenheim film because his docu’s are generally interested in finding some inner truth in its subjects, whereas any truth about Chris Hansen in this film was blown up to a degree that I walked out knowing less about the real Chris Hansen than before.

Santos bad

this goes for Tarantino, my mom, and any other custer who think Paul doesn’t stand toe-to-toe with DDL in that film (which he absolutely does)
