I was devastated after I binged season 1 & 2 of MBF that season 3 is so far away. So I devoured anything that had anything to do with this mini series. A documentary will do. I did scoff at having to PAY for it (c'mon HBO I subscribed only for this show and now have to pay to see the Making of it??) but I did and here we are.
So I rated a 6 it's a 6.5 rounded down. There's just not much here and zero structure. We go backwards then forwards then backwards in time. Lots of down time with all the actors was fun to watch but no insight into their relationships. Plenty of scenes of teens being girlfriends, giggling and teasing each other. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed thoroughly watching the transformation of these 2 young girls into actresses. But again there's really not much to see here. There are no real interviews with them or their families. Just some scenes of them at home. I expected to see the actual process of how they auditioned, what the thought process was, maybe an interview with the director and what the thoughts were in casting. Nope.
I did love the Aerial shot of the set. That was amazing. Wish there was more. And the audition / interview tapes. Wish there was more.
I'm not sure I got $2.99 worth of satisfaction, but I did enjoy it.
Now the endless wait for seasons 3 & 4. Sigh.
