Typical responses here. It is certainly true that the ladies were naive. But if you actually watched it, you'll see that they were emotionally involved as well and that it wasn't just about romantic relationships but also friendships. Those ladies themselves also know that they have made a huge error of judgment and that they have to pay for it for the rest of their lives.
Certainly an interesting documentary, a bit too Netflix slick unfortunately, although I'm glad they didn't make 3 episodes of it or something.

Normally I don't watch many documentaries in recent years but this one was so prominent in the news that I got curious and decided to watch it last night.
Young boy, everyone always says "I'll never fall for it" and so did I but in this case it was so cunning that I can understand an innocent person falling for it!
This Simon first impressed by taking them on a plane trip to a place where he supposedly had to do business and spent the night in the most expensive hotels with the best drinks and food.
To and from the airport in a Rolls-Royce or other remarkably expensive car with his bodyguard and sometimes the business partner(s). Be welcomed by the staff of hotels and restaurants everywhere!
Generous with the dollars and paying the bills!
Wouldn't I fall for it again?
A small 8!

This documentary is captivating, not because it's that good, but because it gives us a glimpse into women's psyches and, above all, what drives them instinctively when it comes to mate choice.
We all know that women rely on emotion much more than rational thinking, and our con man Simon took advantage of that, an emotional rollercoaster ride full of mystery and danger, a rich guy with an exceptional lifestyle and even a bodyguard of his own.
Cecilia shows in the beginning how she actually lives in a fantasy world in which she is ridiculously critical of partner choice (more than 1200 matches but still no relationship) and in which the beauty and the beast fairy tale is a kind of benchmark in her subconscious. .
You can actually say that this woman does not want to marry him but more purely on the lifestyle that he can offer her.
Then the tone of the documentary itself, because that also says a lot about the state of our society today.
In all its subjectivity, this film does not dare or want to point out to the girls involved in their own responsibilities for their stupid choices and decisions.
This is reflected in the conversations with the women themselves, but also in the decision of the docu makers not to let a single family member or friends speak who could be critical of the irresponsibly stupid and sometimes even potentially dangerous behavior of the women. .
Painful is the scene (and an illustrative example) in which Cecilia almost shamelessly admits to still being on Tinder, a clear example of having learned nothing from her mistakes, and why should she, crowdfunding and other stupid lenders will probably pay for it. get her out of debt.
