Moderate.

This documentary probably has noble intentions. Unfortunately, it all feels a bit fake to me. I miss the Larry Clark rawness of these kinds of documentaries. There's a clear sexual morality among young people that's not entirely accurate. But it still gets stuck on the Dr. Phil level. It never really goes into depth. Eventually, the film's true sponsor also comes into play: a self-help group that shows that you need each other. All well and good. But if you really want the viewer to be left with a feeling, the creators have to dare to go further. Not clearly directed parents and young people.

2 stars.

Agree with Macmanus.

A documentary that's part of a moral uprising in America. One that's already pretty much eroded the word "rape" and replaced "innocent until proven guilty" with "believe the woman." It's all a bit creepy and pushy, and that's a shame.

Because you don't need a documentary to know that there's more to these kinds of cases than just a few teenagers who've had a little too much. That's a problem in itself, of course, and it's surprisingly easily covered in this documentary, but yeah, not much nuance is allowed to be added to the discussion. Demonization and tabooing are the weapons of the moral conscience.

It's quite tragic that people who have already endured a terrible period are being exploited for this. While it's certainly true that they find support in these kinds of organizations, and that things need to change there (both in terms of legality and media awareness), it all leaves a rather bitter aftertaste.

A documentary of our times. One-sided, intrusive, and orchestrated.

1.5*

Audrie Pott and Daisy Coleman separately experienced the same thing. These underage teenagers were so drunk that several boys sexually humiliated them and distributed images of it. Both attempted suicide, but Daisy was unsuccessful. What sets this retrospective apart from other documentaries on sexual abuse is that two of those responsible for Daisy's humiliation (anonymously) were legally obligated to cooperate in this documentary. Their statements are telling, but so is Darren White, the sheriff of Nodaway County. They portray the toxic male culture that is (apparently) typical of these kinds of American towns.
