“It can be a tragedy when modern filmmakers try to romanticize history. Nevertheless, Wyatt Earp’s story demands romance. While fiction may portray truths about the human condition that history cannot, Earp’s story is an instance of the brutality, beauty, and complexity of history-trumping tragedy. Netflix, usually reckless when handling history, has achieved a commendable feat with its documentary, Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War, but it is not without its flaws. Netflix commits to historical accuracy, but that approach unfortunately shows that a deluge of historical context can drown good storytelling.” (09/20/24)
