Crazy Love

I strongly recommend not watching the entire trailer because I hate when trailers give too much away. Maybe stop half way.

Something I found interesting about this was that they interviewed both sides. They got both perspectives on what happened. This obviously clinically insane person, and the victim that he preyed upon. This man had to basically sit and defend himself for all of his horrible actions that were indefensible.

I thought this was going to be a slow one to watch. The actions took place mostly in the 50s and there's not much archive footage from that time, so you have to rely on pictures and interviews and. But fortunately, that exposition went mostly pretty quickly. When they got into the story, it started to take off. But even so, at the halfway mark, I couldn't even imagine it was going to go where it did.

It's always fun to get to the end of a movie and for the end of the movie to completely skew what you were watching at the beginning. They really disguised that well, I think. You have to go back and see how people answered certain questions and in what way they retold the past. It wasn't like a movie like Dear Zachary where the story is sort of building and changing as you watch. The whole story is over and done by the time they got into the production of the doc.

Eventually, to me, without giving anything away, this thing just ends up being a sad story of someone settling for something they think they deserve. Entertaining to watch though.
