Through My Father's Eyes (2019)
Cheaply made and totally spoiled by ego and vanity of the plonker making the doco
As a Rousey fan I was looking forward to seeing this as she has a truly amazing story behind her in terms of her upbringing, her Mum's achievements, her Dad's sickness and what she went on to become.
However for a lot of the documentary, I was wondering (in a very frustrated way) if it was a actually a Gary Stretch autobiography and they got the links mixed up in Netflix somehow.
I had never even heard of Gary Stretch. If the cheap and amateur editing and sound quality wasn't bad enough - we have to endure the ENDLESS cutaways (seriously - over and over and over again!!) to Stretch pouting and trying to look all intelligent for the camera. It is torturing for even the first 10 minutes let alone having to endure it the whole way through. For some unfathomable reason he includes a whole bunch of fight scenes of himself and interviewees repeating how great a fighter this guy is/was !?? WTF? - who cares about him - this is Ronda's story.
