About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like character-driven documentaries about deception and big institutions, with moral gray areas and sharp debate; Not for you if you want clear heroes, remorse, or a purely uplifting story like Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words.
Pros: fascinating real-life scandal; bold, memorable subject; sparks ethical debate | Cons: arrogant central figure; subtitles may distract; some details feel missing
