Casting JonBenet

Netflix Review

3*

Well that's an hour and twenty minutes of life that I will never get back. I was surprised that it was good, but I was impressed by it. 

THE GOOD POINTS

What I liked about the documentary was that they used local actors. Each 'role' was filled with numerous actors and throughout the whole thing each actor/actress would read a section of script that was in front of them.  

There are many theories about what happened that night and each of the male and females were paired together to do different scenarios about those theories. 

I liked the ending where they were acting out the theories in rooms (if you watch/or have watched it you'll understand it better). 

I liked how they used local actors from the Denver Colorado area. It felt as if it gave more authentic feeling to the story. 

THE BAD POINTS

Jonbenet is a vital part of the story, as it's about her, and I felt that they spent little time on actually casting her for it and to much time on the actors that would fill up the roles of everyone else.

Over acting in some places. I thought that some of the males in particular ones that would be cast as John over acted in the role play section of when he found his daughter.  

MY UNSURE PARTS

I wasn't to sure on why the actors and actresses were putting their 'two cents' into their own theories about what happened to JonBenet that night. It was good but not good at the same point. 

Overall I wanted to give a higher rating for the it but couldn't because the bad points overshadowed the good points but it is something to watch.
