Documentary Blurb:

My Review:

You may have noticed the setup for this review is a bit different. I didn’t feel that the criteria I placed for movie reviews really fit in the scheme of documentaries, so for anything reality TV or documentary in nature, I will simply give my opinion and a rating going forward. Just makes more sense this way.

Overall Impression

I love Betty White. I mean, who doesn’t? So when I had a Netflix and chill date at home with a handsome guy, he picked this one out. I don’t normally watch documentaries. An ex of mine loved conspiracy theory and I grew to hate documentaries about ten years back after watching so many “The world is going to end” films. So going in I was hesitant, but it was about Betty White, so I said hit that play button!

This documentary covers Betty White’s life in television, and man was I shocked! I had no idea her career went that far back and that she even had her own TV show. Talk about a prodigy! I know her from Golden Girls and movie roles after that, but not much before.

I found this documentary extremely heartfelt, educational, and entertaining. It really made me appreciate Betty White’s journey and who she is as a person. Such a great experience. I’m definitely going to give more documentaries a chance going forward!

Final Score

8.5/10
