Hitler's Death Army: Das Reich (2015)
Made by amateurs
I have no idea who thought that a documentary about one of the most horrific parts of human history can be done in such a lazy and disrespectful way. Half of the documentary is about a recruitment of one person to SS, 20% about few French villages and the village Lidice and the rest is about few resistance fighters? Seriously? Death Squads massacred population in Baltic states, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and later Russia. France or other European countries didn't see even a sliver of terror that was rained on Jews and Slavic population in the Eastern Europe. And yet, this so called documentary forgets all about these atrocities and focuses on absolutely useless and irrelevant things. Where is information on mass shootings, command of the squads, what groups they were operating in, number of victims, mass graves, recruitment of local population to conduct the killings, gas vans, establishment of death camps, because the holocaust by the bullets took too much strain on the German troops, digging out the mass graves and burning the bodies to hide evidence? Where is the story of Podolec Kamienski, Ponary Forest, Babi Yar? What an absolute waste of time to create something that doesn't give any insight into something so horrible, that it should always be remembered.
Halftime (2022)
Documentary as chaotic as JLO career
What hits most in this so called documentary is whining. Whining about media attention, whining about being on front pages because of the way she dresses, whining about having to share a show with equally (or more) popular (and talented) artist and whining about the fact that she would like to be great at everything, but out of acting, singing and dancing only the last one is of decent quality. Half of the documentary is full of moaning about how her one decent(ish) movie is not pilled with awards and nominations when her whole career is full of cheap in plot and horrible in acting rom coms where all she does is to play herself. The other half is moaning about how she has to share a stage with Shakira, while in reality neither her voice or her songs qualify her to hold this kind of a show on her own. JLO wanted to bring attention to discrimination and sexism in American show business, but she is doing it in such a pretentious way that the message is getting lost in a sea of constant complaints and feeling sorry for herself. Shame as it could be a powerful message to fellow Latina women and the World in general, but what it ends up to be is yet another example of why Jennifer gained a reputation of being a diva.
