The doc does mention that 'City on Fire' inspired RD.

It does devote some time to those questions too.

How about interviews with Uma Thurman, Dianne Kruger, and other actresses that have exposed very unprofessional requests he made of them?
The Weinstein stuff is mentioned but as I said, the timing makes it awkward because they can't speak totally openly about an ongoing case. Dianne Kruger is in the doc a lot in fact. Uma was going to be in the doc I believe but it didn't happen for some reason. The doc does bring up and show her car crash incident on the set of Kill Bill though.

You know, something that's a real unbiased examination? There's certainly a lot to explore there.
To be fair the doc does try to walk that fine line your talking about but it's a bit wobbly on it's feet.

Yet my 5 year old niece absolutely loves Ponyo. I don't think this one was aimed at us
