Not only was it kind of manipulative and disrespectful it was often implying how *she* felt about something which felt wildly inappropriate, like they were speaking for her using her own voice? A main concern I had with the doc was this air of pompous certainty it ended on-like that after two hours and whatever research they put in they had figured it out and everyone could stop guessing now.Īnd if you’re like “Why did you feel like that?” Well, they edited a scene from a movie where Brittany shoots herself in the chest and then pleadingly delivers the line, “Why can’t you just let me die?” and then shows shots of all these YouTube bloggers who have been excerpted from throughout who were going over possible theories when this was all happening.
