Tabloid

This is a documentary about a true story of a tabloid sensation.  The story goes like this. Young Beauty Queen marries a Mormon. The man leaves on a Mormon retreat and the woman believes they brainwash him and he now part of the cult. The woman with a help of the guy kidnaps the man at gun point and take him to the cabin and ties him up. While tied up woman precedes to F the cult the right out of him for an entire weekend. Then after that the story starts to get weird. Their religion, sex, disguises, prostitution, false identities, and even some dog cloning involve. It's done through interviews, articles, and news clips.  It’s pretty nicely done. It helps if you know very little about the story so you can decide who telling the truth and who not. Since multiple groups have good reason to fudge the story. And you really get to see how the media plays the roll in this, and shaping public opinion. You get how the media picks side and drive the narrative to ways that suits them. Then you see how the law reacts to the public opinion. The people they interview are interesting characters and good telling their story. You can see the woman is bit publicity savvy despite seeming kind of flakey. She appears smarter then she acts, although still kind of insane. She has a nice personality when she talks and it only till as she talks you say “hahaha this lady crazy.” Then when you hear her talk even more you think “Oh this woman’s CRAZY...not sitcom crazy. But make a sculpture of you out of her poop crazy.”  The story is a nice mystery that slowly builds with surprises.  It set the mood of each era the story takes place in showing poor hair choice decisions of the people involve.  If there a minus, it is that some important people in the story refuse to give an interview. So you’re missing important parts of the story. But still a solid story B
