Take a Chance (2023)
Good production, bad choice
11 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I was willing to empathise with Gert.

But in the end, I didn't.

I had a choice: Do I believe him or not?

I don't.

And the producer's choice to make this documentary some kind of 'jilted lover cannot give up' story with some experts on stalking calling it stalking annoyed me.

They produced stalker porn.

And they abused Gert as well.

Here's questions they chose not to investigate: letters for authenticity, handwriting, police and court records (if they are unavailable, at least say so).

All I find online are repeated tabloid stories.

Without proof, I am left with the words of a clearly damaged person, whose danger I cannot gauge.

Very uncomfortable watch, and not because of the topic.

It just feels wrong. And my truth-o-meter works.

I feel sullied having watched this, thinking it would be something else.

Amazon, correct your 'About' description.
