The Depp V Amber trial was one of the latest (and biggest) worldwide scandals, and Netflix couldn't risk missing out. Hollywood star Johnny Depp took his ex-wife, Amber Heard, to court for defamation after she claimed to have been a victim of domestic violence.
I didn't follow the trial then, but I couldn't avoid hearing a couple of things. Everything I heard then sounded ridiculous, and I decided not to watch those videos.
Everything sounded slightly absurd, and as Johnny Depp's fan, I didn't want to believe he would do such things, but at the same time… who knows?
The Documentary
When I first saw that there was a documentary about all of it on Netflix, I didn't give it much importance. Everything was finished, and why explore that even more? So, I ignored it for a while.
Eventually, I got curious, so I hit the watch now button.
“Really?”
This was my most asked question while watching the whole thing. There was so much absurd stuff, all exposed like a giant circus everywhere. The entire situation was ridiculous. There were many crazy things, and sometimes, it made me speechless.
I'm not here to judge any of them again, but the documentary. I liked to watch it; it gave me a good understanding of what happened there. I read some critics who said it favors Amber's point of view. Honestly, I don't think it did.
Sure, Johnny did very condemnable things, but she did them too. She looked a little crazy and vindictive most of the time. She was caught lying or telling some half-truths more than once, and let's face it, it did not look good for her.
Was the trial fair?
The documentary's final moments were made to make us think about the whole situation. It wasn't especially enlightening or insightful. My conclusions were that they were terrible for each other, and there was a tremendous lack of respect in their relationship. It is a shame.
About the documentary itself? Depp V Amber is not worth your time.
