Review of Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel (2009) by Kristal C — 05 Aug 2010
A comprehensive and eye-opening doc about the life of a man known more for his lifestyle than his charitable and social work, which is too bad because there's no doubt the man is inspiring in his conviction.
Berman does a good job of packing 80-odd years of story into a two-hour film but it's a bit too much of a love letter. The doc only quickly touches on the feminist view of a man who bulit his empire on the backs of nude women and barely explores the claim by several employees that he's a tough man to work for.
A good doc but it would have been great if it had been more balanced.
