7/10
What was wrong with Aunt Diane THAT day?
13 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
We do learn a few interesting things about the mysterious case of the wrong-way driver on a freeway in upstate New York in July 2009 who killed a total of eight people, including herself. Not that we learn everything (nor anything really definitively) that we might want to know, but that's life. What I find even more fascinating is the reactions of many of the reviewers here. They seem really angry and judgmental about Aunt Diane, as if they believe unequivocally she began the drive that morning intending to kill herself and utterly decimate all of the families. Or that, if the toxicology tests and retests are to be believed, that Aunt Diane had been secretly an addict and closet alcoholic for a significant time, and was knowingly endangering everyone. (And that Diane's extended family is in nearly total denial over her culpability.) If you ask me after viewing this documentary, I'd say it's a lot more complicated then it first appears, and deserves more contemplation and consideration then it seemed to get at the time. That said, the absolutely horrific results speak for themselves. I give this 7/10, losing a star for being too long.
