The documentary starts out interesting with a history of Lovecrafts childhood and relationship with his mother. The movie is punctuated by interviews with icons of movie making...they still had me. It moves into his relationship with his wife, move to NY then they lost me. Seeking to attempt to provide reason for Lovecrafts literary racism wondering, well was he really a racist? Or was he just a man in New England at the time? If someone uses racist language in their writing are they racist? Institutional and systemic racism at its best, the producers failing to see that whiteness is what everything else is compared against. It's disappointing the filmmakers clearly don't get that. I turned it off.
