Allen V. Farrow [View all]

I've been watching this series on MAX. Its well done, and has interviews with a lot of the children and friends of Farrow. All I can say is Allen really managed to turn the narrative against her in every way. He sexually abused their young daughter, Dylan. He had sex with her high school aged daughter, Soon-yi, and took naked pictures of her. If you look back at his films, his lust for much younger women is quite apparent - and he is always the one who pairs up with them.

This is very old news. But at the time things were happening, Farrow kept quiet because she was trying to shield her children. Allen used the press against her at every turn. At least in this series you get to hear her side of it. She's not crazy.

He's a great filmmaker. But I cannot watch his films any more without thinking of his pedophilia.
