It's a bunch of aspiring actors with recollections of JonBenet's murder. The facts, though there, are difficult to decipher, especially to someone who isn't well versed on the facts of the case. I was hoping to learn about the case and what happened, guess I'll have to go elsewhere.

This was the first Netflix original/Straight to Netflix movie that I had seen, so despite the mostly positive reviews, I was a little leery. However, as I said in my Title, it is an interesting angle on something most of us are very familiar with: JonBenet's tragic unsolved murder.I know many other critics have gone into deeper levels and deeper meanings, but honestly, I just thought on the surface that it was very interesting. Whenever you hear people talking about this case, it's usually those with a vested interest in a particular outcome, and they are attempting to spin it. Hearing from "typical" locals (well, at least the ones who were trying out to play John and Patsy Ramsey, and other people related to this case), and what they know and think about the case was interesting. Most were extremely passionate regarding their feelings about this case, and while maybe not 100% accurate, I'm sure they are an accurate reflection of what many people around Boulder, as well as around the world, think about this case, even if it's sometimes not the politically correct way to talk about it.I also am wondering what the original intention of this film was. Were they really going to make a movie about JonBenet, and then it evolved into this documentary? Or was it always the intention to make a film like this, and the so-called JonBenet film is merely a prop to get to what we see on the screen? At this point, I haven't seen anything written about this.Finally...I would take the majority of "1" ratings in this section with a grain of salt. Why? Whenever I see a string of dramatically low ratings for well-reviewed movies, or dramatically high ratings for average films (see the number of "10" ratings for the abysmal "Lambert and Stamp" documentary on The Who managers), I click on the profiles to see how many reviews they've done in addition to this one. At this point in time, there are seven ratings with a "1", and for five people, this is the only film they've ever reviewed. That leads me to believe that these five so-called reviewers are not at all objective, and have some unknown agenda they are trying to perpetuate. Perhaps they are friends of the Ramsey family? We'll never know. And if these same people choose to negatively rate my review on account of this, so be it.

An awful movie that turns the death of a child into "entertainment" and for what purpose? Don't hope to learn anything new here; there is nothing but speculation and bad acting. The "film" managed to trivialize the life and death of this little girl and somehow, people found it to be profound. Um, seriously? Instead of making this movie, the film makers should have donated the money to an organization that helps children. Shame on Netflix for even posting this garbage.

I love Netflix, and I love a lot of their original productions. They have produced so much incredible content, in such a short amount of time. So when I sat down to watch this "documentary", I was expecting a quality film. While there's been a slew of new documentaries about the JonBenét murder lately, recycling a case that hasn't evolved much in years, I thought "hey, it's Netflix, I'm sure it's good". It turns out that you have to take the title very literally. This film is entirely about Colorado locals who go through what must have been a parody of what a casting for a real documentary about JonBenét (using crazy people instead of real actors) could have looked like.Indeed, you see a number of different people auditioning for a handful of the principals, such as the real-life John and Patsy, the brother Burke and various others. Most of the time, these "actors" talk about themselves and not about anything related to the Ramseys or the murder case. One disgusting guy describes bondage involving breasts, another explains how a handwriting expert identified an injury to her ankle based on what her writing looked like. The "documentary" offers no new information or insight into the case - instead it replays various moments and occasionally far-fetched theories. One such theory revolves around the nine-year old brother smashing her sister's skull with a hammer - this is dramatically re- created with kids pounding a watermelon with said hammer.The subject of JonBenét's bed-wetting is also brought up - for what reason I'm unsure.While it's entirely possible that the real-life Ramsey family is not entirely innocent in what happened, it's absolutely disgusting that they are subjected to this garbage film. I'm not sure I can see the art in joking about the brutal death of a six-year old, especially in such a gratuitous and ridiculous way. I'm sure the "documentary" is meant to be a commentary on how the media, reality TV, social media etc. in this day and age is used to promulgate scandal, sex and murder in a blase fashion. This inane "documentary" does nothing to halt this trend - in fact, it does the opposite.
