This documentary on Roman Polanski was ok. It was mostly about Polanski's trial and most of its value comes from the fact that Polanski is a very interesting character and his story in rather compelling as well. The downfall of this movie is the production and telling of the story. It was very blatantly a made for tv documentary that had a hackneyed 'Dateline NBC' feel to it. There seemed to be very little direction to the documentary and could more aptly be described as a mere history program. I would go to see this movie especially if Roman Polanski interests you or if you hate to miss a documentary. It was a pretty good movie but nothing to write home about.

A great documentary that is interesting and compelling. The trial is just almost unbelievable due to the actions of the very bizarre judge who wanted to turn the trail into a film and direct a director. Although the Director was clearly guilty it would have been much better if they put some average judge not some fame craving odd ball. It tells you what Polanski did but it also makes you see what had happened to him before. It does not condone him but it shows what happened to him.
