I feel like this should really be titled "The Overacting of Michael Barnett." In many ways it reminded me of The Staircase because Barnett was dictating his side of the story (which frequently changed) and it seemed like he genuinely likes to hear his own voice. He seems so fake and calculated. It is sickening.
The son that was interviewed was obviously heavily manipulated by his parents and coached on what to say for the interviews. This is less of a reality based documentary and more a scripted show to tell a he said/she said story in a marriage.
Whether she was a child or adult, the Barnetts wronged this girl and so did the documentary for making this less about her and more about the parents.
