FRONTLINE: "WEINSTEIN"
March 2, 2018  | By David Bianculli  | 1 comment

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

This new installment of Frontline, reconstructing the long history of allegations swarming around film mogul Harvey Weinstein, gets most of its strength, as did the start of the #MeToo movement, by women coming forth to testify against him, in detailing their allegations of Weinstein’s previous mistreatment of them as young actresses or others in his powerful orbit. Some voices you’d expect to take part are not present here, which gives the documentary, like the case against Weinstein, the feel of a persuasive work in progress. For a full review, see Alex Strachan’s TV That Matters. Check local listings.

I was impressed with how quickly Frontline put together this documentary. But once I watched the doc I learned that Weinstein's allegedly criminal activity had been happening for decades so it's hard to know when Frontline actually started doing their investigating for this show.

Either way, it was an excellent documentary that I highly recommend because even though I followed the story very closely while it was happening I still learned a lot plus I never felt like Frontline was being biased, a rare trait these days.
