I originally watched this back when I had Covid, and I blamed the virus for my struggles to follow this, so I decided to watch it again, and whilst it is a fascinating story, it is really hard to follow. It feels really disjointed, and somehow it feels a little incomplete.
The interviews are moving, and very revealing, you learn so much from the relatives.
This may have worked better if it had been done in installments, giving focus to the crime, the attacker, the database issues etc.
A good watch, but bard to follow, 6/10.

Movie Reviews
A good story, a little hard to follow.
Good but disjointed
This could have been a great documentary but it lacks the necessary focus: the victims and the killer fade somewhat into background and leave the spotlight to an excessive number of scattered interviews.
I respect the choice of giving a voice to families and survivors, but making a documentary about a serial killer without explaining adequately his MO, genesis and motives, doesn't really cut it.
Intense.
It was said of the women Guy Georges selected that "There was no special physical style. Brunettes, blondes, redheads. Tall and short. Not one was depressed, unemployed, lonely...or down. They were grounded women with ambitions, boyfriends." The one glaring omission in all of this is the fact that ALL of his victims were white.
