"I wish I could tell my sister that she's not dirty and that she should not feel any shame for something that she literally was not responsible for".

The media's relationship with celebrities reporting physical sexual abuse from there co-workers during filming production with a higher rank in the business is the thing I can describe it as for someone with a voice and an empowerment element inside them can't hide the truth, no matter how traumatizing or horrific it might become from a celebrity perspective you don't have to hide from yourself, sexual abuse is the kind of thing famous celebrities face on a daily basis when working with someone with a top rank in business it's terrifying to see these empowering women used as manipulation objects then let them fight for the spotlight, everyone does remember Harvey Weinstein, Dustin Hoffman, Michael Jackson and last Bill Cosby the few famous figures accused of assault towards there work co-stars. Speaking up for yourself is nothing but you doing the right thing not hiding in the shadows every time, revealing your secret has no wrong doing only inspires you to stand up for yourself becoming the strong empowering woman you desired to be, a woman's greatest fear is not being believed when something like this happens to them back then it's called a "horrifying reality"

Weinstein's claims of sexual abuse always frightened me in terms of the abuse topic lingers into being worse then other reports, women coming forward sharing new secrets about the assault transforms into something straight from a nightmare: I couldn't bare the fact these celebrities haunt there co-stars it's the most terrifying thing a human being can face and it hurts whenever I read an article discussing this certain disgusting topic. Discussing this gross, horrifying topic today leaves a chill down my spine because the world of Hollywood isn't just about the dreamland you even choose to be as an aspiring actor, Hollywood has strong powerful people who want nothing but glamours attention from women's body parts it's a reality no other person can live, Hollywood has other things in general such as celebrity affairs, production fights, gossip everything its the void of madness. Sure Hollywood make the big bucks but sometimes famous figures can´t be met or reasoned with there lives are secret hidden from us completely that´s why these reports happen.

These disgusting predators don´t have a right to harass these women the subject matter grows worse for them destroying there careers in lengths. Although the predator´s career goes nowhere, the past stays with you and never leaves you behind. Various brands of fiction depict this certain topic from movies and books, this topic started a movement called the ¨me too¨ element. It was presented back when Harvey Weinstein´s own claims went arise telling women not to back down but defend, stand up for themselves thus the movement still goes strong for women who face this kind of incident alone. Don´t let these people get to you stand up for yourself this inspiring subject can help you defend yourself and become stronger.

DISCLAIMER: I will not target these innocent women here it´s a inspiring thing that women stand up for themselves creating this movement called me too because billions of people out there face traumatizing physical abuse from famous figures on a daily basis and it´s sad to see them suffer harshly.

When I first heard about Woody Allen allegedly abuse his daughter Dylan Farrow (the daughter of Mia Farrow) in such an inappropriate manner as a film critique hearing about a serious, horrifying subject kinda haunted me because why would a middle-aged accomplished filmmaker harass his own daughter? the question left me startled and I thought for a brief moment while doing extensive research on this matter as it turns out the story came to life in this miniseries documentary on HBO Max nothing could prepare me for what I was going to experience, I usually do not read about these topics there not my thing but Allen Vs. Farrow was the type of documentary I could actually feel raw emotion from it´s actually not for the faint of heart who digs into the Woody Allen iceberg because it´s such a dark place where everyone believes in this subject matter.

This miniseries spans four episodes each explaining every report made by Woody Allen, each gives us retrospect inside the Woody Allen family. The documentary offers us insight into the claims but introduces Allen´s entire family before the emotional cores start kicking in. I love how this documentary series follows the rules of a typical documentary special unlike other pieces of fiction following sexual abuse towards a minor depicts a honest, depressing atmosphere but this documentary is more in line finding the truth about what happened with the Woody Allen case. While I love the facts, attention to detail, Allen vs Farrow depicts a harsh mysterious bucket of unanswered questions commented by the media and various celebrities who support Mia Farrow as an observer.

Ep (1). Starts out strong were introduced to the Woody Allen family from Mia Farrow herself, Moses, Dylan Farrow, Fletcher Previn, Ronan Farrow. Before the scandals arise, Woody Allen had a successful career in acting and an accomplished filmmaker, the first episode presents Allen´s lovely relationship with Mia Farrow as engrossing but interesting. Farrow grew interested in Allen´s career, the first episode challenges viewers to see what he accomplished as a director despite the accusations he had with Dylan Farrow. The first episode is incredibly well-paced and shares fewer uncomfortable scenes which were unpleasant for me until episode 2 the thing is once the first episode develops Allen´s relationship with Mia the episodes grow more and more uncomfortable until it finally settles with the situation. Now Dylan Farrow comes into the picture, Mia Farrow gives life into Dylan as she grows, Woody Allen becomes invested in her then Mia Farrow which was complex for me at first because a father can love his daughter whatever he likes but not in a manner were discomfort and stalker vibes enter the picture, Throughout the first episode we witness Allen stalking Dylan at her every move thinking it was normal for a father to love her daughter but from my perspective what Woody Allen did was not give her daughter space. From a parent guess having boundaries with your child is necessary because if you don´t give them space or time to think they won´t come to you, Allen did the opposite becoming stalker then a loving father because Woody Allen loved Dylan more then Mia Farrow. When a child faces discomfort from a father they become shy and depressed so this episode focuses more on Dylan experiencing discomfort from her father, what makes the first episode stand out is it´s use of real-facts and visualization that the real people behind this event know what there talking about in terms of a harsh topic. Overall this first episode starts out the discomfort element pretty well and delivers on every level.

Ep (2). Here´s where things get terrible, The second episode focuses on Allen´s relationship with Soon- Yi and wow...did this second episode hit me hard then any other punch I got when watching Schindler´s List, the second episode might be the most emotional things I´ve ever seen cause there´s no escaping the fact that Woody Allen dating a teenager was just weird and sickening to the chest. Not only does the second episode did Woody Allen´s affair with Soon-Yi as gross and problematic, the episode relays on the fact Woody Allen loves adding in 18-year old women in all of his movies and Manhattan is a great example of Woody Allen constantly adding 18-year old teenage women in his movies it´s kinda like Michael Bay´s formula where he uses women as sex objects in all his movies not like it´s creepy coming from someone who makes loud blockbusters on the vine of entertaining die hard fans but comes off as terrible and even too weird. Here the second episode introduces a film critic who admires Woody Allen´s movies saying him putting 18 year-old women dating the middle aged director was normal when it was released but as of today it is weird and strange seeing these characters presented in Woody´s own films. The second episode´s emotional core left me shedding in tears for what happened to Soon- Yi it was considered baffling and horrifying to live through probably. The second episode carefully explains Dylan telling Mia about Allen touching her without permission it just gets even darker from here and after Soon-Yi´s segment, Dylan´s segment started out as painfully emotional for me to watch. Overall this second episode was informative, insightful and a hard knock to the head to those who see this coming.

Ep (3). Although the second episode introduced harsh themes circling around Woody Allen´s strange relationship with Soon-Yi as engrossing and emotional, seems the political statement regarding child sex abuse is presented in this third episode. Woody Allen was only famous in New York City so it comes as a surprise that Mia Farrow has a deep love/hate relationship with Woody Allen in terms of the accusations, Investigators start entering Dylan´s perspective on what happened inside the train track bunker since Dylan is a child and children often times can´t offer much knowledge to what they experience that was traumatizing that can only make her more traumatized if questioned more by investigators. The political commentary on child sex abuse is quite rare, the episode makes an interesting point where if you question a minor about a traumatizing subject it only makes them more depressed and filled with despair. The investigators call Mia Farrow ¨a bad mother¨ it was mentioned later on that when a child faces sexual abuse towards there father or has an affair later on drives the mother furious, this topic is called alienation were the mother loathed the father for doing something unreasonable spreading nothing but misguided lies tearing apart there family. Mia Farrow seemed to brainwash her children according to investigators, and this is where it grows pretty problematic, nobody can brainwash anybody into thinking other stuff that aren´t true, just because a traumatizing thing happened in the family doesn´t mean lies start rambling about which makes the investigation twice as confusing and left as a conspiracy then report. Halfway through the third episode introduced some neat sketches about the court herring Woody had, I love how it wasn´t animated but sketches did the trick for the courtroom scene. The courtroom scene can come off as an argument then suggestions whether Dylan is with Allen in the attic or was it true that Woody Allen did assault her. But if everyone was in the room during that time and Woody claims Dylan wasn´t with him how can nobody hear them or someone investigated the entire attic, the claims left me with more questions then answers because with everyone in the room during that incident makes no sense but I am not calling Mia a lair it´s such a shame that these accusations connect to another piece. The third episode is quite the remarkable one in terms of political views and Mia´s brainwashing scheme used on the children, it´s original, innovative and well-discussed.

Ep (4). The fourth episode ends the miniseries documentary on a higher bitter note, after the 1993 custody battle between Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, Dylan Farrow grows up between the age of 14, Mia could tell she isn´t doing well because of the emotional pain she witnessed with Allen abusing her in a sexual manner. The fact Dylan is depressed about the whole situation makes her grief reasonable and should be shared for future reference. Meanwhile Woody Allen seemed to getaway with the 1993 custody battle of the accusations made by his daughter Dylan and started to make movies out of the blue thinking that this traumatizing thing was just a thing in the past, Woody Allen moving on with a higher accomplished film career made the world turn against Mia Farrow cause people thought Mia abused the children not Woody Allen. Ronan Farrow thinks otherwise, Ronan thinks Woody´s situation should be focused on not Harvey Weinstein´s claims of sexual abuse although Dylan´s grief is still in tact not being able to go public about the situation plus seeing her father up on stage in the Oscars might have been concerned driven since he´s the person that sexually abused Dylan. The fourth episode tends to introduce the ¨me too¨ movement again considering the me too movement goes from celebrity to celebrity discussing this topic it works in those aspects presenting other celebrity accusation beautifully while being distracting at times. The me too movement is important because these predators shouldn´t abuse these women, there innocent but at the end go public which resembles female empowerment, this movement affected and inspired tons of women to stand up for themselves when faced with this traumatizing crime, it´s sad to see women suffer it breaks my heart to see that presented in this documentary and the political view point is incredibly interesting and poetic for an emotional miniseries. Once Woody Allen is caught red handed thanks to Ronan Farrow talking up the situation from the past billions of actors who worked with Woody Allen on various films he directed regret working with him because of the sexual abuse case revolving around Dylan Farrow. A Rainy day in New York was the last movie directed by Woody Allen, after that the person we knew is gone. The fourth episode comes into terms of Dylan letting go of her grief that the past should not be remembered, letting go of your grief is an important thing by moving on, while the message ends the episode decently I was left shaking because this entire miniseries is thought provoking, informative, honest and depressingly messed up from beginning to end.

Allen vs. Farrow was a brilliant documentary treats the subject matter as the main important thing then let the grief pass to us. The miniseries has unique style, personality and it´s messed up as hell also hard to watch in terms of quality. I have never seen anything this depressing, engrossing and sick in my life, everything about this documentary is both interesting also informative. Tends to have a darker atmosphere which works for an serious subject matter treated as based on facts and true events shown as subjective. I think this documentary is dangerous because the saddest scenes left me speechless then never before, the experts, film critics and the real people in the incident know what there talking about, there not spilling untrue theories or anything that made Room 237 disappointing it focuses on being depressing by digging deep into Woody Allen´s ego on how be became a successful director to a strange predator. The series did have heartfelt moments here and there but I founded the archive footage to be quite reasonable. This is the type of documentary taking things seriously and by the heart not overall fetish information.

In conclusion Allen Vs. Farrow was hard to watch beyond being sad and depressing, Kirby Dick´s direction is inspiring and presents the subject matter as profound and impressive while staying on the same tone and atmosphere. The experts were a little distracting but adding this darker tone help establish Woody Allen as a predatory monster and a horrifying pervert to begin with. This documentary may not be the best I´ve seen in terms of documentaries but it was the most depressing things I had ever seen. Once you started this miniseries you will not be prepared for what your about to see in this documentary. The tone is engaging and actually genuine, the acting is incredible, the pacing is excellent. Allen Vs Farrow is not for everyone but if you like to dig deep into Woody Allen as a gross person this movie is for you. For me i had to suffer watching paint dry that were my tears.
