ShangLuda Admirable film.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
scottknight-46618 Im 23 so outside of chappelle's show and Family guy I knew nothing of OJ, except he was a murderer.This documentary is of high quality, but alot of the content is frustrating as a person with intelligence. The second episode in particular, where it tries to make you feel sorry for a thief; no.
Clifton Johnson Initially, I was like, "The OJ documentary is how long?!?!" But I never realized that this story could be a prism through which to understand race, class, privilege and celebrity in this country. And watching it while a jury debates over whether Walter Scott's killer was guilty of anything? It reminded me that many things have changed...and many things haven't. I experienced OJ's trial as a college freshman, but I didn't understand it till now.
gregers112 O.J.: Made in America is the Oscar winner for best documentary in 2016 and its well deserved. What a documentary. There is so much detail in this and so many questions answered that we didn't know would or could be answered about the infamous O.J Simpson case.I'm normally not a documentary type-guy but this had me floored. It's such an amazing piece of artistry, and being a young European I hadn't actually heard of this case before which meant that I was amazed all the way through.I first watched the dramatization of the story in The People v. O.J Simpson: American Crime story and honestly it just made this documentary even better as they're not acting. These events has ACTUALLY happened.Some may argue that it's very long for a documentary (7hr 47 min), but honestly the backstory which we get in the first couple of episodes is time well spent. It makes the impact of the final chapters of this story so much larger and makes for a more emotional ending.What made me love this story and documentary so much is that it has made me think so much about this case. I've finished the documentary a week ago and I'm STILL thinking about this documentary. That's how good it is.Wow, what a story and what an ending. Incredible. I would definitely recommend this documentary to anyone who loves film and who loves definitive stories. However, I think the documentary will have the biggest impact on you if you haven't heard much about the story and aren't fully aware of everything that happened to O.J Simpson. That being said you will still have an amazing time watching this documentary regardless if you know about the origins of this case or not.
imagorilla It was well made, yes. Well acted? Yes. But it was no Doggy Daycare. Doggy Daycare just speaks so honestly to the audience, as if the gentle, caring puppies themselves were speaking through the miracle of HD Digital film. Six dogs sitting in chairs was a record and this was by far the picture of the year. www.StacksTV.xyz
