Review of O.J.: Made in America (2016) by Morten S — 13 Feb 2017
Before going in to this film, I knew very little about O.J Simpson. Other than he was that guy from 'The Naked Gun' movies and that he was involved in a murder-case in the early 90's, I knew absolutely nothing about him as a person or his life. I didn't even knew that other than being an actor, that he was also a legendary football-player and that he was a cultural icon. However, this 7 hour documentary epic is easily one of the best and most enlightened experiences that I have ever had in a long time.
Since to me this film is not just about the rise and fall of O.J, but an epic and fascinating commentary on american culture itself, from media and celebrity worship to America's troubling race-realations throughout it's history.
I never tought that a documentary about one of the biggest murder-cases in American-history could be so engaging and interesting, but thanks to phenomenal editing and storytelling, I was never bored during it's 7 hour runtime.
An incredible achievement in documentary-filmmaking.
