It was a pleasnt surprise to see that this film was NOT a documentary about what Aileen Wuornos did (I GREATLY enjoyed that dramatic account in the film, MONSTER) but rather a documentary about how her newly adoptive mother and lawyer seemingly pimped out her story to the highest bidder, all the while preaching forgiveness, innocence, and love. Of course, what Wuornos did was worse, but to see the british documentarians given the runaround because they haven't paid sufficiently for the Aileen Wuornos story, its pretty damn disturbing. If nothing else, the film shows how brilliant Charlize Theron was in portraying Wuornos in 2004. Solid Documentary!!
A terribly simple movie, but manages to be very interesting and ultimately pretty sorrowful. The movie follows a man who has to explain to the adption agency investigator why he was found in another's house taking care of an infant son. It is a story of boredom, longing, and necessity for companionship. I didn't quite think Harry would be able to squeeze any sympathy out of me (since at the outset we KNOW he is a Bigamist), but he manages to. Nothing too groundbreaking, but you will want to see how things turn out.
