Gets a star for the gorillas. Ellen 0

Bad documentary born not out of her concern for the gorillas and respect for the great Diane Fossey's life work and legacy, but from a desperate, calculating attempt to redeem her failing career after having been exposed as a tyrannical, moody, toxic, abusive, rude boss who caused many people to be fired or go through emotional distress with her mean antics. Honestly I never watched her own show because it's not my type of entertainment but I was curious about this piece as it revolves around a subject that is dear to me, preservation and restoration of the Environment, protection and assistance for threatened species and animals in dangerous conditions and a love of Nature in general. I was sorely disappointed. Goodbye Ellen, you and your self-entitled stunts won't be missed.

Self-indulgent, out of touch garbage

Ellen DeGeneres may have set out to "save the gorillas," but this documentary feels more like a transparent attempt to save her own tarnished reputation. What could have been an inspiring film about conservation and the plight of an endangered species is overshadowed by an unrelenting focus on Ellen herself.The entire production reeks of self-indulgence, with excessive screen time devoted to her narrating and interacting with the camera in ways that often feel staged and insincere. The plight of the gorillas-the ostensible subject of the film-becomes a backdrop for her self-aggrandising journey, making it hard to take the conservation message seriously.Moreover, there's an uncomfortable disconnect between the film's "save the world" ethos and its underlying agenda to rehabilitate Ellen's public image after her widely publicised workplace toxicity scandals. It's honestly hard not to feel cynical about the premise.If you're looking for a genuine, impactful exploration of conservation, there are far better documentaries out there. This one falls flat, serving as little more than a poorly veiled PR campaign. Save your time-and maybe some gorillas-by skipping this.

What did I even learn from this?

This is the absolute worst piece of media I have ever witnessed. I learned absolutely nothing, and my general distaste for Ellen has increased dramatically. You could tell that every moment in the "documentary", if you can even call it that, was insincere, faked, and just all-around poorly acted out. Not to mention that absolute disrespect she showed the staff when the cameras turned off. Ellen doesn't know what it was like for these animals or even for the people that work alongside them. What a joke?!I think it's time to realize when you're hypocrisy catches up with you and just stay out of entertainment for good. Retire Ellen, we all need that in our lives.You will always be "One Take Ellen", just not because you're an good entertainer any longer. It's because the first is so poor, we do not want to try for a second.
