    I believe Dylan Farrow. Listen to the victims of abuse. Woody Allen is a powerful, manipulative, abusive, pedophile who belongs in jail. The doc is well made and takes various perspectives of those affected.

    First episode was very nuanced and well-researched, if more than a little hard to watch for obvious reasons. Seriously, the guy married his step daughter and people still defend him. STILL. I'll be interested to see what new information the next three episodes bring to the table.

    You can only interview those that want to be interviewed on camera. So take your complains about the lack of Allen and his partner's side of the story to him.

    EDIT: 7 dislikes despite the fact that I only said something factual: Allen and his daughter/wife refused to appear on this documentary.

    Disgusting pedophile Woody Allen is finally getting exposed for the sick child molester he always was. Too little too late of course, but Hollywood is second only to the catholic church when it comes to protecting the powerful abusers in their midst. As for the deranged freaks who feel the need to defend him in every online space one can only hope they get put on a list.

    Hearing the allegations directly from Dylan, Mia and other family members made them all the more shocking. But without input from Allen or those with countering evidence, this felt one-sided. Perhaps it is best to see Allen v Farrow not as a piece of hard-hitting investigative journalism, but as a space for a woman to share her pain and be heard without mitigation.

    What makes “Allen v. Farrow” appointment television — and justifies its running time (over four hour-long episodes each Sunday beginning Feb. 21) — is that it expands beyond the case and the people involved. ... The series is incredibly absorbing.

    The problem with this series, compellingly presented though it was, with Farrow’s son Ronan giving damning evidence against his former quasi “stepfather” and a family friend saying she saw Allen applying sunscreen to Dylan’s buttocks in an inappropriate way, is that it was totally one-sided.
