{movie} jupiter's wife (1995)

This compelling documentary tells the true story of Maggie, a beguiling, forty-something homeless woman. Maggie, who lives in New York's Central Park, claims to be the daughter of actor Robert Ryan and believes she's married to the Roman god Jupiter. Her story is both a complex enigma and a riveting tale.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: ** Wow, this was painful at times. I don't understand why filmmakers find homeless people to be so fascinating and continue to exploit them. And this woman, who on top of being homeless, is also quite clearly insane, is not fascinating. I only hope that some money, if any, made from the success, if any, of this movie was given to Maggie.
