There's nothing clever about a tv show or a movie that at the very end says "Surprise! It was all a dream!". Unsurprisingly, most people feel like all the emotional investment they made into the story and the characters now counts for nothing, and feel both cheated and stupid for having fallen for it.
Similarly, this "documentary" ends up being made up using an actor to play the fiancé. Yes. An actor. What's more, you're only told this at the very end after, you guessed it, you've made an investment into the characters.
If it was all real would it have been good? Eh, it was ok, probably a 4/10 for me.
But marketing itself as a documentary has of course left me with a bad taste in my mouth, and the feeling like the director is now laughing and calling us all suckers.
I'd give this a zero if I could, simply for lying.
