It’s a multi-episode conversation that’s thoughtfully and sensitively handled, and rightly places emphasis on how Cosby’s downfall has affected the Black community. It is also transparent about how conflicted Bell and others remain when it comes to how to define this comedian, a feeling that ultimately interferes with the series reaching the strong conclusion it seems to be setting up.
-
We Need To Talk About Cosby deserves praise for holding the comedian to account. But that credit must in the first instance go to the women who spoke out and who are interviewed on camera. Bell, however, wants to tell a story that is bigger than Cosby. And the film he has made feels at once excessive and lacking focus.
