    Good documentary about a vulnerable person who primarily needed help

    People who need to be protected from themselves. That's what I think about when I watch this excellent documentary about the all-too-short life of the artist Aaron Carter. The child star who lived his life first in the media spotlight. Then in reality shows, talk shows and finally social media. Where everything is laid out for the public. At the same time, it is clear that this person needs help, care, possibly treatment and not least personal time.

    It is actually a dilemma. How to help someone who is unable to accept help? What I think about this documentary is how Carter allowed his most vulnerable sides to be exposed as entertainment. So incredibly sad. And cynical to let him become entertainment. It is obvious that this was a person who needed professional help. Nevertheless, he is invited to post about all the problems on talk shows. Distasteful.

    It also reveals a lot I didn't know about Aaron Carter. That he was a skilled musician. Self-taught on many instruments. That he worked hard, and constantly tried to come back with his music. But the world had moved on. Instead, there was self-destruction in front of an open camera. This is exactly what I find most disturbing. That people who struggle become entertainment for others.

    Now he is gone. Perhaps such documentaries can contribute to insight into a side of the entertainment industry that certainly has points for improvement? We can always hope....

    He was surrounded by leeches

    Poor kid. What a POS that Melanie Martin is. His mother should be dragged. Holy hell. The misappropriation of his money, the lack of support and direction by every single person in his life is just alarming. It's obvious he was used and then tossed away. Tragic This was a good doc about how alone he truly was. Why should he have had to ask for help when clearly everyone helped themselves to everything he had.

    Such a waste. Especially his parents....they are a waste of space and air. It's amazing that narcissistic mother of his didn't want to participate in this doc. Surely she 'managed' to profit off of him only to abandon him when things got tough.

    Keep his kid away from Melanie and give it a chance.

    This just felt like a platform for all of these washed up nobodies.

    Overly long documentary that spends too much time unfocused. Highlighting these leeches that have no clout left in this dying industry. Dude with tattoos all over his body, backwards trucker hat and nose rings talks about himself for most of it.

    A documentary about Californians, for Californians, made by Californians.

    It's tragic what happened to Aaron Carter, I would've rather watched a 90 min documentary that was solely about him and more detailed. Maybe shine a light on how terrible Hollywood is, because we all know it is by this point.

    A beautiful tragic life

    It hurts to watch these things happen to people. I wish wr could have given what he wanted. It's a tough industry. It hurts to watch these celebrities lives be ruined for entertainment. You can see a lot of his emotions through the photos and you can tell he was huhurting.

    Rushed

    It felt rushed - we went from 0 to 100 really fast, and the pacing wasn't great. One moment we're hearing about Aaron Carter's love triangle with Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff, and the next he's on Dancing with the Stars.

    We needed time to get to know him and understand his story. He deserves justice, not just a trailer of random moments. I would've loved to see more about his relationship with his family, especially his brother Nick Carter.

    The documentary has good intentions and a meaningful message, but it lacks the depth needed to truly connect with the audience - or at least that's how I felt. I hope Aaron is at peace, and that one day a proper documentary is made with love, not just for profit.
