I watched this on Netflix and the first thing I saw in the titles was Weinstein Company,oh the irony.At the end we see him being awarded an Oscar in absentia,accepted by Harrison Ford,and all the smiling Hollywood faces when everyone knew that he had drugged and raped a 13 year old.The next time anyone who ever worked with him starts to give lessons of morality remember that.POS. 4 years ago

The story seems a bit one-sided, leaning toward evoking sympathy and forgiveness for a tortured and lustful genius. Reinforcing the fact over and over that Polanski had a very "rough childhood" and has a lust for life that only an "artist" can endure and understand is supposed to somehow allow him to break any law, moral or otherwise, that he chooses. True, he had a rough childhood. True his wife and child were brutally murdered in one of the most famous murders of all time. True, the judge in his case was unfair, egotistical and starstruck. But all these things combined does not give him the right to break the law and elude prosecution. 12 years 5 months ago
