Review of Girl 27 (2007) by J D — 01 Nov 2007

While there was real tragedy in how the cover-up of Patricia Douglas' rape ruined so many lives, there's another tragedy here: that Patricia Douglas and her family had their tragedy exploited by an opportunistic director.

This was all about David Stenn and how he made the movie, how he found the information. The very first scene is him recounting how Jackie Onassis told him if anyone could tell this story it was him. The ego on this man is ridiculous, and what should have been a riveting, powerful documentary was cheapened and ultimately ruined by Stenn's compulsion to ingratiate himself into almost every scene of this film.

Big disappointment.
