The documentary is pretty much terrible on a technical aspect. The whole film is shot in a 'cinematic' lens that felt forced and uncompelling. The acting/performance is pretty much atrocious, and by the performance, I mean the unnecessary dubs during the documentary. Which make it felt that the immigrant/non-immigrant who was being interviewed was saying something that is not worthy of any emotional punches.
This film is a perfect example of what a documentary should never try to accomplish, and that is pretending to be more than what it is without any weight. The immigration problem in Europe is way more complicated than this and yet the director thought that it was a good idea to dumb it down to a 1 hour and 30 minutes documentary. Everything felt insincere, as Lauren Southern explained everything to the audience like a bunch of dummies.
It was an insult to every single documentary out there. Rather than try to make an informative piece, it was a political piece. Visually, it's dull. And on every single level of being a documentary, It tells a story that only one group can like it, which is the right-wing group who will love this documentary, judging from the astonishing 10-star reviews.
