Sorry but here it goes


The reenactment at the end was the most disgusting repulsive thing I ever saw in any film ever with Billy Boy sitting in his wheel chair what other thoughts could he of had that wasn't in the film. I can think of some screwed up ones ... Bill is very screwed up and this documentary was a waste of time. He needs serious help. I never heard of this case and frankly it happens every freaking day... Why should this get the attention it did.

I'd have to say I agree. My wife and I were engrossed by this documentary until this point. I understand Mr. Genovese's need for closure. But what of the residents of Kew Gardens? Imagine having this guy show up and asking to be let into your apartment. Just to look outside the window. Then one morning you're awakened by a scream a 3am and you look outside to see this nonsense.

I do appreciate his effort to set the record straight. I always thought there had to be more to this story. To me, the movie was less about the story and aftermath, than his story. I just wish he had left this alone. And not given that sick F Moseley a platform to speed his lies.

I wonder how his siblings felt about this? I think they wanted him to drop his too.

"I wonder how his siblings felt about this?"

Kitty had one sister. She was the only sibling who did not appear in the documentary.

"I never heard of this case " My goodness you're grossly ignorant. I'm not even American (I'm from South Asia) and I've heard of this case. This was a horrifying case and still is. It is a cultural phenomenon of bystander effect.

Let's get one thing straight until it's your family member SHUT UP. You have never felt what this man or my family felt. Your belief that they just get over it and get closure already is ignorant. A piece of them is missing they will never get it back they never get over it, it never gets better it just gets easier and as for closure you don't get that from a conviction you get that from knowing why.
