Yet by turning the documentary into such a powerful forum for the resolve and resilience of these young women, Carr, in filmmaking terms, really sticks the landing.

The many revelations about Nassar have already been widely reported, but Carr’s film, which is also available on HBO, works as a worthwhile précis, featuring interviews with many of the women who came forward.

A compellingly woven true-crime primer that serves both the gist of what happened while exploding your consciousness over what needs to be done in the future.

The benefits outweigh the few unsavory side effects of this largely first-rate documentary, a clangorous wake-up call about a career of sexual abuse that seems to have been too clumsy and/or obvious to have gone on for a week, much less 20 years.

What Carr manages to indict in the film is both a specific environment and a more general culture disinclined to believe what women say about their own body. ... The most powerful moments in the movie come in the final third, as Carr captures the week in January 2018 during which 156 women gave victim-impact statements before Nassar’s sentencing in criminal court.

As it's happening right now with Jeffrey Epstein. As it happened with Weinstein and many others and how unfortunately it will continue to happen with many other sexual predators, it happens because people protect them. Beyond the horrors and atrocities they commit, this continues to happen because there are people who covers them, people who didn't notice, people who didn't want to give an account, people who knew what was happening and preferred to keep silent and look the other way and people who are like them and therefore protect themselves. In some many cases powerful, rich and influential people. There is no teaching in it, because it's not about learning something but about acting in consequence.
