One-Sided Documentary
1 April 2021
It was obvious that the documentary was completely one-sided and portrayed in a way that could make one think that there is beyond reasonable doubt to believe Dylan and Mia Farrow's story. The saying is there are two sides to every story and then there's the truth. Unfortunately, the documentary only followed one side to the story. The series was quite disturbing but there seemed to be missing pieces to the puzzle that weren't pursued further and a string of Mia Farrow followers that wanted to push a specific narrative that suited their side of the story.

One thing I found particularly peculiar was that Mia Farrow brought up slapping her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi. However, that topic was never pressed further by the interviewers and came off from a viewers perspective as nonchalant. Wouldn't an investigated journalist pursue that topic further by asking other adopted sons and daughters if there was any kind of behavior at home from Mia Farrow and also investigate other siblings point of views.

For a documentary that claimed to take years of research, it didn't want to present the full case and present a different side of the story. It wanted shock value and to further destroy and alienate a famed director.
