Allen v. Farrow (HBO)

Brendan’s Alternate Tagline for Allen v. Farrow:

This is so gross.

Quick synopsis:

The story of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow’s relationship.

Fun Fact Non-History People Should Know Will Like:

Woody Allen hired people to follow the detectives investigating the child molestation charges against him.

Fun Fact for History Nerds:

Woody Allen films a movie a year or so. He’s also a disgusting human being.

My Take on Allen v. Farrow:

I never liked Woody Allen anyway and I certainly don’t like him any more now.

I was still rather young when the whole Allen fiasco went down. It was an interesting moment when I watched this miniseries to realize that the media blitz Allen used to protect himself actually worked on me. From what I recall, it seemed like a very “he said/she said” scenario.

It was not.

If you think for a second Woody Allen was set up by a vindictive ex, then you need to watch this. It will change your mind with actual facts instead of a media blitz. More importantly, you hear directly from Dylan Farrow, whom he molested.

Let’s be serious here. His explanation starts with falling in love with Farrow’s adoptive daughter who he’s known since she was a teen.

Verdict:

You have to have a strong stomach for this. It’s well done but oh man will it ruin your day. Watch it here.
