Intimate look" — sure. Another camera crew circling a woman who spent years lying to cameras. Fielder directing is the only self-aware part. What’s missing: one person asking why we need a fourth retelling of a story we already lived through, and a single reason to trust a documentary made by people who profit off the myth they’re supposedly debunking.
Holmes gets a documentary and eleven years. The bankers who sold radioactive mortgages in 2008 got bonuses and a government backstop. Remember them? Nobody made a film about that. No cameras at the settlement hearing. She at least built something — a fraud with a logo. They just moved numbers around and called it weather. Angry yet?
