Spacey Unmasked is a relentless series of stories detailing horrific behavior by Kevin Spacey, but it also tries to give a little context by delving into the actor’s life. Still, it’s hard to watch.
-
The programme attempts to establish that there was a pattern to Spacey’s behaviour throughout his life, one that he has repeatedly denied and has not been proven in court. A large part of Spacey Unmasked is given over to the complainants. If this documentary is indeed one-sided, it falls on their side.
-
What the film made clear was that if Spacey thought being exonerated at trial would be the end of the matter, he was wrong.
-
Spacey Unmasked is more, though, than a blizzard of marks on one side of an is-he-isn’t-he ledger. Viewers who are minded to believe what is alleged in these interviews are given a picture not just of whether an A-list actor came to abuse his position, but how.
-
Spacey continues to deny all wrongdoing, but this stomach-turningly fascinating programme stands as a devastating portrayal of the power dynamics of fame.
