This week on Two Girl Cinema Club, we’re discussing documentaries. Netflix’s The Crash has been getting a lot of hype since its release, so we knew we had to check it out and finally dedicate a week to documentaries. We also briefly, reluctantly, discuss Euphoria and wonder how on earth they’re going to wrap this ridiculous season up. Ailish was also able to watch Black Phone 2, so we talk about that more in depth. Overall, we felt the film was a bit rushed and we think the actual plot would have benefitted if they waited a couple more years to release a sequel. Ailish also watched The Ballad of Wallis Island and Hannah watched Primate.

The Crash is a documentary that resonated with us a bit since we live in Ohio and vaguely remember the news story. It’s safe to say Mackenzie Shirilla is exactly where she needs to be, but we didn’t really think Netflix did a great job with the production of this documentary. The Cove is nearly 20 years old and details the slaughtering and selling of dolphins in Japan. This one is definitely one sided, but it does bring up questions on culture vs culture. Some of the imagery really pulls your heartstrings too. Three Identical Strangers is one of the most bizarre documentaries we’ve ever seen. It’s heartbreaking, shocking, confusing, and a little lacking. We felt this one would have benefited from having multiple parts. Another one that was a lot to digest in 90ish minutes was 13th. We backed decades of history into a short amount of time and it was overwhelming. The topic is very important and thought-provoking, but we felt the production could have been done differently.
