Simon T @MovieTart 3d A claustrophobic and engrossing documentary that persuades you of one narrative before subverting your presumptions on repeat. The less you know the more astonishing it is. Even at the end you can't be sure you know the whole truth. The only weakness is a tendency to insert reconstructions without making it clear, and similarly not identify genuine footage/audio. But a riveting 90 minutes all the same. See more Barrie A @RT44484472 4d I disagree with Christopher J whose "conspiracy theory" is total garbage. This is a film about a real case and it's on public record. It's a very interesting but complex case and Netflix did a good job making it worthy of a watch. No, they didn't give the game away until it was necessary because they were trying to make a documentary that is gripping by revealing the story in a way that holds your interest and curiosity. There are several mind blowing twists which make this a pretty good watch. See more Christopher J @RT46688457 4d The first half is great! Definitely very intense and interesting! However, when Michelle tells her story against Ian…it is more than obvious that it’s all bullshit! This is a woman that was in jail for months unjustly, partially because of Ian! She obviously wants revenge! The investigator that opened the case against Ian either has a personal grudge or wants to make his career better w arrests!…this is one of the most obvious and absurd "me too" cases I’ve ever seen! And the people at Netflix should be ASHAMED of themselves but they won’t! Because they have no shame!…to Michelle over exaggeration of having sex w another guy ( on VALENTINES DAY!) obviously her idea for a v day gift! To her "blacking out" and not remembering things! this is a MOCK DOC!!! This is just such a joke! Not one piece of evidence against Ian! Oh except the freak that tryed to rape a girl! His word is OBVIOUSLY good! See more Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies 4d In the You Couldn’t Make This Up category, A Toxic Love Story is astonishing, depraved but fun. The twists keep coming as you talk back to the screen, pause the movie and sat "What? Huh? No way!". See more Jason M @Nautius 6d Aside from the DOJ investigator, I don't think a single person was telling the truth. Not even the victim. The documentary left too many holes and unanswered questions. See more Michael V @RT41146758 6d Decent documentary, crazy story, TERRIBLE people. Most of the people involved are so annoying. -Some spoilers ahead- The only people I felt bad for and somewhat liked, are two people (the cop and older lady) that were interviewed about being duped by Angela regarding her fake cancer. The rest of the individuals were insufferable. Ian and Angela, obviously terrible. The Anaheim Police Department, stupid. Even Michelle Hadley who was the one falsely imprisoned was insufferable. Based on the documentary's footage, she didn't even TRY to legit defend herself when she was first arrested. Did she even have a lawyer?? They did digital forensics on Ian's computer to find out he was "Lilithistruth" sending emails but they don't do digital forensics on Michelle's computer to show she didn't send those emails? It's just so STUPID. Then the more the show goes on the more of an insane self-aggrandizer Michelle becomes. See more Read all reviews
