Review of Searching Eva

Searching Eva (2019)
5/10
Reveals I am on the grey-haired side of a generation gap. Neither the many positive reviews nor the movie itself convinced me of any wrongdoing. So agree to disagree??

Saw this at IDFA 2019, the documentary filmfestival in Amsterdam. I cannot say anything positive or negative about this movie, as I have no idea what it was all about, and why we should be interested in lead protagonist Eva. Her decision to open up her life for anyone who wants to know, may be groundbreaking but it does not bring anything useful. It is not thought provoking either. She may be the "living proof" (quote from IDFA synopsis) of something, but I don't get it.

Possibly I got stuck on the grey-haired side of a generation gap, siding with people who detest all modernist phenomena. Still confused and uncertain, I randomly sampled 5 out of 11 critics reviews listed on IMDB, all proving to be overly positive. Nevertheless, their arguments did not change my position. Time to agree to disagree?? There is technically nothing wrong with the documentary, it may be enlightening for people who wants to know that this is all about, and I sat it out without a problem, hence the 5 (out of 10) score.
