The family withdrew from the Sky/Jim Sheridan one not the Netflix one as far as I know. [/quote]
Though it’s entirely not clear to me why, as the Jim Sheridan one was arguably far more of a character assassination of IB, whom the family is so certain is guilty, because there’s so much footage of him ranting incoherently, appearing drunk, stoned or plain odd in the daytime, being rough transporting a caged cockerel to the point where he thinks he’s injured it, and showcasing his drinking.
The Jules birthday party scenes where he’s checking wine bottles for dregs, drunkenly singing along offkey with the entertainment, and serenading a stone-faced Jules, are excruciating.
Which obviously doesn’t make him a murderer, but gives a far worse impression of him now than the Netflix footage, where he’s far more coherent and sober.
Having seen both of them close together, I now can’t remember which shows pages from his notebooks where he’s writing graphic sexual fantasies, with illustrations? That obviously could also support a hypothesis where he was stalking Sophie as the object of his fantasies — thenotebooks were used in court during his libel action.
I’m actually a bit confused as to what the family removed when they ceased to cooperate with the Jim Sheridan one — the crime scene photos of her feet in their boots are still in, as is the shocking one of her hand taken, one assumes, at the post-mortem, and there’s still a lot of interview footage with her parents, though it’s older than the interview in the Netflix one (her poor mother is much iller), and with Pierre-Louis. Though not her uncle, aunt or brother.
