A very unnerving and upsetting Netflix documentary about sexual assault in high school, bullying, social media.
My review of Audrie & Daisy is now up at Rogerebert.com.

// One of the clear conclusions of “Audrie & Daisy” is that: If you are a boy and you screw up, the response will be “boys will be boys,” and there will be an organized effort to get you back on track. If you are a girl and you screw up, you will be thrown to the wolves. No one cares. You will be blamed. And—in the case of Daisy Coleman’s family—your home will be burned to the ground in retaliation for what you have done to those nice boys. //
What a devastating conclusion. Thank you for your thoughtful review. It breaks my heart how completely wrong we have this.
Love, Stevie XXX
Stevie – it’s absolutely outrageous. How do these people sleep at night?
Love you.
