A look behind the years of sensational headlines to reveal the private story of the accusation of sexual abuse against Woody Allen involving, his 7-year-old daughter with Mia Farrow.
What I can tell you is that it is compelling viewing even if it is (sadly) not as shocking as it should be. There is no arguing this is a well-executed production even if it is not nearly as balanced as it should have been.
I'm really glad I saw it. It lets Dylan, now 35, married and a mother, finally tell her own story at length. And it starkly reminds us of the serious strains of denial and hypocrisy in our culture regarding sexual abuse and incest.
Even some 30 years later, it's dizzying to be reminded of the dueling press conferences, the magazine cover stories, the TV interviews, the shocking details of the allegations against Allen.
From Parental Alienation Syndrome to sexist criminal justice standards, the docuseries convincingly points out how this isn't an isolated incident, but a pattern of abuse in America.
"Allen v. Farrow" justifies itself when all anyone can look at is Dylan, but so frequently undercuts (and even debases) itself, and her, through overbearingly crummy technique.
