Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

t-phommachanh A story of a big superstar and his eventual fall from grace and how it has defined not only his career but himself as a person. This film delves a deeper look from his early rise to fame to the now famous incident which has now tarnished his reputation and how we hear it from his side. Although it starts off well it starts to feel more like propaganda which to me feels like a film already too late to have been made.I cannot say too much but it is just your typical documentary which feels like it is to invoke sympathy for the disgraced singer. Being a fan of his music I felt compelled to watch this film to hopefully see a different side of him. At first it was good and fair for him to let him tell his side of the story and what happened (now we need Rihanna's side) but given all the detail and comments from other people in his life and their opinions it gave a "I know what i did was wrong but please sympathise with me" kind of vibe. I can give him credit for being aware of his actions and trying to do the right thing but it feels hard to accept any change given behaviours and incidents after that incident.Here we see interviews from other celebrities who have worked with him and seem to know him on a closer level but it seems that they are there to defend him and let the audience realise that we are human and to accept Chris Brown as a human who has done the wrong thing but a fall from grace is the only way to learn to move back up because what other way can there be to go?In the end I do see this a some kind of film that is trying to give Chris Brown some kind of redemption and a different point of view of his past behaviours. It doesn't seem to work very well as it tries too hard to make him become any bit likable as a person but we must remember that he has done his time and he is trying to turn around. The past will always be there to haunt him and people will remind him of it. Whether you like him or hate him he is defined by what actions he will take moving forward and if he's learned anything at all.I can't say it was a great film but interesting enough that I was able to sit through it all. I cannot say it will redeem himself and what he's done.Give it a chance but it doesn't feel like it will change your opinion of him as it kind of feels forced on you to.

tamakinlmiller I think this was a great move for Chris. He waited a decade to share his side of the story which tells me he was not trying shame or through Rhianna under the bus. I've always known there was more to this story than the media put out. I am so happy for Chris and I can see the maturity in him. I do think he need some slack from the media and his critics. Chris was 18 when this happened. He was still a kid and his mind was not full developed into a man who could make wise decisions. We all know most boys do not mature as fast a girls. Chris I think you are still the next Michael Jackson just lay off the cursing so much and I think you will be good in the industry.

sarasaroshca It's an amazing documentary, made me cry a f****** river. It shows how strong he is even after all the bullshit that he been through. Shows how multi talented he is in literally everything. Shows that he is a human just like us and he makes mistakes just like any other human being. I find it really stupid that they're some people keeps constantly hating on him just for a mistake he did and he was forgiven by the victim himself, so for those people who are hating on him I find it really stupid and ridiculous cause that's non of your business he was forgiven for what he did and life goes on. And it showed me how the world is so mean, disgusting and have no mercy. The media and the press have been putting some much bullshit on this guy and they've always showed the Chris brown that they wanna show to the people. Also in this documentary it also shows how he great and amazing father he is. I totally agree and believe that if Chris without the 2009 incident he would have been as iconic as MJ and everybody knows that. In my opinion I think Chris is a legend and a big icon and people don't give him much credit for what he does and he's underrated. . This guy can do anything he's an entertainer and multi talented artist. I will forever admire his strength and ability . In my eyes I see him as the greatest legend

mcdeagle In his new documentary, Chris Brown is trying to deflect a fact that he's a woman beater. Movie focuses on his raise to fame and success and then how beating up RiRi took away everything he worked for. Blames his mistakes on everything but himself. Chris Brown needs to take more Ls to realize that he's irrelevant in today's music and show biz and needs to disappear forever into retirement .I wish that i could 0 star this but you can only go as low as 1. L/10
