I SO wanted to see this and like it, and especially with Helen Mirren involved. Her aspect was frustrating and - I guess I would say overbearing in how she seemed to be TRYING to elicit so much emotion yet still comes off as mostly disconnected. But that's the lesser of the problem - as many others have noted, the millennial instagram influencer sideshow was obnoxious to say the least. It has no place in this kind of production and the last thing that should be resorted to in ANY documentary type of story is gimmickry. I get that they want to attract young viewers - but simply sticking a hipster Kardashian type and the inane hashtags made me constantly hit the fast-forward button. Good job ruining what could have been a very compelling and important film.
