Ok but it's easy for a documentary to make you go insert shocked gif here if they just lie about things

    True. So are they lying? I don’t think so.

    The other commenter pointed out a pretty major inconsistency in what I assume is one of the main points of the documentary, so if they're correct, then yes.

    There’s a LOT of testimony in the doc. Which is being contested?

    Well, he’s like a postscript to the doc. He’s only on it for like two minutes.

    He [Reed, the director] told Business Insider: “In the end I knew that Macaulay and Brett [Barnes] had made statements consistently rebutting allegations that were made. I'm not in the business of outing anyone. I think we make it very clear in the film that they deny to this day that anything sexual happened and I'm not about to try to change their minds about that.”

    The doc is about the two boys before Culkin, not the entire group of boys he collected, so dismissing 98% of the movie, and the corroborating accounts Culkin has made seems disingenuous.

    I understand people don’t want to believe it. But these two guys are direct and their stories match in many ways and they are eminently believable. If it didn’t happen to Culkin, he’d be an outlier, but - good.
