The majority of these reviews talk about how this doc was skewed towards making Amber look a victim. I saw it as exactly the opposite. I thought that it portrayed Johnny as more of a victim than Amber (rightfully so).
In my eyes, they highlighted a bunch of instances where she was caught in lies, while rationalizing a lot of the lows that Johnny experienced. What I took away from how this doc was presented, was that Johnny was clearly being set up to be an abuser by a woman who may in fact be a literal psychopath.
Obviously there's no way for any of us to know the whole truth of all that happened during their tumultuous relationship. But if I had previously known nothing about the case beforehand and watched this documentary, I think I probably would've finished watching it convinced that Johnny Depp was the victim (which is how I felt while following the case anyway).
So in conclusion, I'd just like to say that I respectfully disagree with how this documentary was perceived by many of you. What I got from it was a bit of extra vindication for Johnny, a continued distrust of Amber Heard, and a few laughs at her deplorable acting abilities.
