Documentary Review :

Money Electric ~ The Bitcoin Mystery
Money Electric is far from the first journalistic attempt to put an identity to the Nakamoto pseudonym. Previous efforts have not fared well. A widely derided Newsweek story in 2014 claimed a 64-year-old California man named Dorian Nakamoto was the inventor, only for the man to later threaten to sue for allegedly “reckless reporting.” (The magazine updated its stories with his denials.) A year later, both Wired and Gizmodo published stories that pointed to Australian businessman Criag Wright as the bitcoin’s creator, based on a trove of documents and emails that purported to reveal his intimate involvement. Since then, a court in the U.K. found that Wright lied “extensively and repeatedly” about his involvement, including forging documents “on a massive scale,” and he is now facing criminal perjury charges. The New Yorker also appears to have given the mystery a try but didn’t get very far.

While the context is nice, this appears to be a description of the prior attempts more than a review of the Money Electric documentary.

It's still a review. Isn't it?

Is it?
The only part that refers to the documentary is that it’s "far from the first journalistic attempt to put an identity to the Nakamoto pseudonym". That might be a brief synopsis, but hardly a "critical evaluation of a piece of work".

I mean it's a review for the prior attempts, as you Said. I agree. That's why I wrote 'so far' in the title.

I agree, it was all just circumstantial evidence.
