I'll just say that I have been hearing for years that Mia is one batshit-crazy bitch.

This is a shameful documentary indeed

I started watching it last night and got about 10 minutes in and just said, "Nah."

It seemed clear early on that it was just a showcase for the Farrows.

reply

My impression is that Mia came from a horribly dysfunctional, damaging childhood, and that she was its victim. Unfortunately, such victims sometimes go on to victimize others, because it's all they know emotionally from their most formative & vulnerable years.

reply

I obviously don't know the woman personally, but I've seen multiple sources say she's nutty as hell.

I wonder what Diane Keaton thinks about all this. She was a good friend in the early years.

reply

Yes, Mia clearly has MAJOR family issues & always has had them. It's interesting that adopted son Moses Farrow, who obediently & fearfully parroted Mia's accusations as a small boy, grew up to become a family & marriage therapist who rejected those accusations & re-established his father-son relationship with Allen.

reply

Yeah, it's very interesting about Moses. Maybe it was his lack of a blood tie to Mia that allowed him to look at the situation more objectively.

I wonder what Ronan genuinely thinks and believes when the cameras are off and there are no reporters around.

reply

Last I heard, Keaton was on Woody's side.
