I watched it last night. It's a two-parter: the first episode is about her childhood and career up until college and the second is about her career and family life post-college up to the present. I thought it was pretty good. I'm a millennial, so I didn't know much about her life going in. The Pretty Baby and Blue Lagoon scenes and some of the TV interviews from when she was a kid were so uncomfortable to watch.

Some of the feminist analysis on the sexualization of young girls was really interesting, and I wish they had spent a little more time on it, but I get that it's supposed to center on Brooke. They did do a good job juxtaposing men's gross projected ideas about Brooke's sexuality with Brooke's complete naivety and innocence.

I read "I'm Glad My Mom Died," by Jeanette McCurdy a little while ago and I was struck by how similar their childhoods were as child stars. They had very similar intense relationships with their mothers and similar skeevy interactions with their male bosses. Both of their first kisses were on camera and their directors got angry that "they were doing it wrong." Like, no duh, dude. Brooke also said that during the sex scenes in Endless Love Zeffirelli would twist her toes, so her face would show "ecstasy." Shower thought: Do men not know the difference between a woman experiencing pain and a woman experiencing pleasure, or do they just prefer the look of pain? (Between Endless Love and Romeo and Juliet, Zeffirelli is clearly a perv if not worse.)

Also, the Calvin Klein Jeans commercials were before my time, but WTF was that "I've put away childish things" spot? So gross.
