TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

aloha-from-ritaanne While subject matter etc. is often reviewed (hence my 10 of 10), I am truly impressed with you for understanding what it took to reach thru this woman. At 1st my concern was that of "another story pusher" but I realized as the film cont. & you were in Vegas when she couldn't come up- you got her. I knew then that she may have started as a "story" but to you she was more than the just the incident. Just as she needed the world to know that they didn't just take her sexual innocence but they took her soul. My passion is because I know you got that because I am a survivor of rape that follows her course as far as my treatment as the victim including my mother. This was back in the 70's & treatment of girls/women was horrible. Thank you for introducing this woman to me. Thank you for you caring for her. Thank you that the love she could never give nor receive she experienced as a result of you prior to her passing. Your film has moved me to do this- write a review in hopes it is actually seen by the director/creator.

chucknorrisfacts I just watched "Girl 27" on Netflix instant stream. It's a very sad movie, but I think it's worth checking out, particularly if you're a starry-eyed youth thinking of making a career in show business.The truth is, the world's a pretty nasty place, and you shouldn't trust people. Maybe that doesn't sound very nice to say, but it's the truth. It's just too bad no one ever told poor Pat Douglas that when she was growing up."Girl 27" tells the story of Pat Douglas, a young extra in the early days of Hollywood who gets raped at MGM and the subsequent cover-up that took place to protect the studio from the backlash after Douglas went public with her story.I know a lot of people have given this film negative reviews and I can't really understand why. It seems a common complaint is the director's mishandling of the material or his apparent need to put himself in front of the camera instead of the real "star".Well, first off, I'm in no way affiliated with the director, but I think if he's the one to uncover the story, he has the right to appear in his own documentary. Secondly, no one ever stopped to consider that maybe Pat Douglas wasn't comfortable talking on camera long enough to make a whole film out of it -- and that the director had to relay some information himself? I don't know...I guess I just think the people who voted this movie down because of the director missed the point of the whole documentary. It's about Pat Douglas and her tragic story, and I'm just glad the story got out and without the director that wouldn't have happened.Some may say he exploited her again for the purpose of a story, but I don't see that. I think he gave her the only vindication she received in her whole life. Otherwise, the story would never have been told, as I said before, and I think as tragic as the story is, it serves as a warning of the dangers of being young and naive and unaware of the dangers that exist in this world.I would recommend checking this movie out -- it's really sad, but I'm glad to have seen it -- because nothing like this should have to happen to anyone...and awareness is key to keeping stuff like this from happening to anyone else.

bodian26 This is an incredible film, a powerful film, a love letter to someone who was deeply and tragically wronged. This is a film that shows how sadness, despair and actions can be carried down through the generations. It is also a film that shows that the system may try to destroy you but if you believe in yourself, the truth will come out somehow. This is a film that is moving in every way a film can be. David Stenn, the filmmaker has done a lot of good with his film. He has helped to change lives, bring closure, and allowed Patricia Douglas to feel that she is not alone in her struggles and regrets. An absolute must see. You won't regret it.

Jochen Lotke What does happen when an interesting story is ruined by a man who just cannot keep out of the shadows and must (simply MUST) always leap centre stage? Well it looks a bit like Girl 27.I think I am kinder than some other reviewers who give this film a one (but maybe not than those who think this is the best film of all time --- maybe the director or his friends eh?) this isn't terrible really, just fairly bad. The story, however, saves it from being awful - it is quite compelling blend of misogyny and studio politics with a victim who is left a ruin.Its his first film I think so maybe he will learn to focus more on the subject of a documentary and not to grab the attention so much for the next effort.Jochen L.
