The art of padding.
All I can say is the trailer that Netflix produced for this was incredible, it drew me right in, you're sold the mystery of the infamous Cecil Hotel.There's the side of it that really is tragic, the story of poor Elisa Lam, the scenes of her grieving family, and that pretty awful moment where she's last seen alive.
Part of me finds the whole thing a little tasteless, the poor girls story is sensationalised beyond belief, and some of the interviewees maybe should have had a bit more consideration for poor Elisa.
It's well made, it's well produced, but at just under four hours...... It could have been told in one, they really did drag this one out.
Very slow, pretty boring, and slightly tasteless I thought.
Poor, 4/10.
score 4/10
