Documentaries, when done well, are like great theater. Count "Mommy Dead and Dearest" among one of the best ever made. It also doesn't hurt that the filmmakers have an unbelievable fascinating story to work with.
"Gypsy Rose" sounds like a name for the title character in some form of art. But the story of her life is a tale best left for nightmares.
Just when you think that there is nothing else that could horrify or surprise you, along comes a story that turns that on its head.
It is going to take me a lifetime to forget what I just watched. I also now have a new added skepticism of or society, legal and justice system- all of which dropped the ball here.
Sometimes the worse solution may end up being the only solution.
