Even though the documentary is so 2001, I must admit that I was captivated by William Haines’s life story to the point that I’m still shocked that there hasn’t been a major creative biopic that does him justice.

Worse, such narratives unintentionally deny their victims their humanity, using all that up for their "more privileged but naive" counterparts.
