Another archetype of Netflix's so-called "documentaries".
Get a bunch of people who were part of the story to tell it for you. Put together a few drawings to illustrate their thoughts. Zero investigation, no journalistic research whatsoever. You'd think they would send a few investigators on the tail of those cyber-crooks? Interview the only person that was found guilty, the lawyers, the bank? Integrate the small world of hackers to get some insights? Think again. It's hypothesis after hypothesis. Fill the blanks with endless random images representing futuristic network connections around the world along with stressful music, you're done.
The result is what we're all too used to by now; something that looks like a high tech commercial predicting the end of the world by computers, buttered with blend statements on cyber-threats that everyone's well aware of, while watching video clips straight for the Netflix free bank of computer related imagery. You almost end up forgetting what the actual topic is initially about.
That's all it takes in Netflix' view to make a good documentary . This masterpiece would be about 15 mins long if it wasn't for all the fillers. Spare yourself from this garbage.

These movies are made because of fast-paced, non-stop video content platforms. They imitate the feeling those provide to kids to try to appeal to larger crowds. That's why we're ending up with empty shells of movies like this one.
The scenario is as simple as it gets. Every character's personality is a caricature in its own style, exaggerated in its traits, while lacking any sort of depth. They end up coming off uninteresting, shallow and idiotic. Everything here relies on quick paced snapshots of an action-oriented movie put together to overflow you with shiny images and noises, so you don't have time to think of how lamentable this trash really is until it's too late for a refund. A little "comedy" is used to try to justify the lack of depth, in a miserable attempt to avoid any responsibility in this disaster.
I can guarantee you that nobody here will ever watch this garbage twice in his lifetime, even the ones leaving positive reviews. We stopped watching after 30 mins of agony. You'd think they'd learned their lesson with The Grey Man.... Avoid at all cost.

The movie is as bad as Eric Elmosnino is good. The director felt it was useful to add artsy personal touches on the author's life using a spirit of Gainsbourg as his side charactor, focusing on his art forms and music hits developments. The movie completely fails at describing what actually took place in the artist's life and what experiences made him what he became.
Instead, we get this boring flick where the imaginary crosses Gainsbourg's most famous songs every 10 mins. It adds nothing to what we already know of his life. No epic stories (and there was so much to talk about regarding his early and late years' night life), no vibrant momentum, no real character or relationship developments, no depth, nothing.
This movie could have been so much better if it had been shaped like "Cloclo" (about the famous Claude Francois). What a shame, what a slap in the face of Gainsbourg and his interpret which, once again delivers a stunning performance that could have be much better used.
