Gender Transformation: The Untold Realities (2023)
all the 1 stars are clearly paid for
Or come from people who have been brainwashed into oblivion. Maybe transitioned themselves and still trying to tell themselves a story that all that suffering was not for nothing. How can anyone watch this and say it's fear mongering? Telling you the truth qualifies as that nowadays? How can you understand the intricacies of how carelessly and downright negligently this well oiled machine is working, and still think that is the right approach? I'm honestly at a loss for words. It makes one feel like they live in a world full of NPCs. No questioning the authority and critical thought. Just obey or be canceled. Depressing times.

on a more technical note perhaps, but thr reenactment was quite cheesy and over-dramatic at times. Could have been better executed.
After.Life (2009)
pervert's dream
(Will point out when the spoilers begin)
The longer the film went on, the more convinced I became that is was created by a necrophile. What it lacked in purpose, dialogue, depth - it made up for with unnecessary nudity of 'dead bodies'. Characters acting completely insane - none of what they say or do makes any sense, it becomes absolutely intolerable to watch. Random fillers the take up time & sapce and lead nowhere. And of course there are plot holes!
(Spoilers starting here)
If she is supposed to be alive, why is there no blood flowing with wounds gaping open and him sawing her up? Why would she see herself in the mirror so different from what she actually looks like? How come she is not paralyzed and can feel enough to grab and throw things around, but nothing at all when he threads a needle through her skin and when she hits herself repeatedly? Why when she uses the phone to call her boyfriend - she sounds on the other end of the line like she's calling from outer space? The mortician repeatedly shown to be using the phone without any issue. Why can't the boyfriend check what number called him on his *cellphone*? And what's up with everyone's hallucinations? Is every character an undiagnosed schizophrenic?
Premice is not bad, but the execution was plain STUPID. Wonder how this script attracted all these actors...
Running with the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee (2022)
Chaos
Netflix is full of these lately... No structure, poor editing and story building. I left with more questions than answers, and it's not because it was so thought provoking. If you make a documentary, for heaven's sake - have a clear idea of what you're trying to say. The only advantage here is the proximity to the eccentric protagonist. But if you just finished a documentary and your first thought is "man, someone should really make a good documentary about this" - that's not a good sign...
