"I feel like this documentary tries it’s best to make the audience have sympathy for Rachel when it really just seems to me like she is harming her family by continuing to identify in this way."
Amelia Kaiser
"I only give it a thumbs up bc it was entertaining g at rhe very least but truly it kind of deserves a thumbs down bc it seemed like they made too much effort filming this to give the audience sympathy for Rachel when we all actually know something isn't right with her. Yes she has a story but it's just not enough to ignore her lies and delusion. She keeps hurting her family for her own selfish reasoning at this point. Also she's absolutely wild for legally changing her name nkechi amare diallo. This woman needs to face reality. "

"I think it's important to show how her children are affected by her choices. And how white privilege plays a role. "

"Great storytelling here. They got takes from every perspective. The voices of (actual) black women were vital to telling the complete story. "

"I feel sorry for her children. They shouldn't have had to endure the outcome of her negative publicity. "
