Bill Cosby: Walking Free

It&apos;s not bad overall however it comes in at 1 hour and 18 minutes and it should have been about 45 minutes.

We get so much padding. Long shots of Bill walking by the courthouse. There&apos;s lots of this. We have to see every statement by the victims. Terrible incident but is it necessary to see everything?

There are absolutely pointless images. They&apos;re talking about Bill going to the store and we see old black and white film of African Americans in a store. They talk about his mom being a maid and we see old footage of a black maid (not his mom) and his dad was in the navy and the same type of footage. It&apos;s almost insulting. If you don&apos;t have actual footage of what you&apos;re talking about don&apos;t just show random black people in its place. There are pointless shots while narration goes on - we see a lot of an eyeball - I don&apos;t get that one. Lots of shots of pills being manufactured and multiple other annoying shots that don&apos;t fit the narration. Tons of padding here.

The thing is called &quot;Walking free&quot; and his walking free doesn&apos;t even happen until the last four minutes of the documentary. There really isn&apos;t anything about the backlash of his going free. They show his attorneys claiming he&apos;s been vindicated (he wasn&apos;t, he got off on a technicality). We do get one person pointing out the victims weren&apos;t proven false and that again, Cosby just got off on a technicality. You get the sense the makers are on Cosby&apos;s side or at least that&apos;s what I got but there&apos;s no question he was guilty. He was found guilty and that will be documented forever.

I think this is a good story that needs to be told, I hope a better documentary comes along to tell it.
