I think reviews that complain about narcissistic and ignorant people in this short documentary/film are missing the point. We are watching to see what happened. Not what we wish we could see. I think this is a great little film showcasing actual footage (no simulated or acted out scenes) of what happened on that cruise ship. It's surreal, haunting and honest.
Plot summary
Using intimate footage recorded by passengers and crew, The Last Cruise is a first-person account of the nightmare that transpired aboard the ill-fated Diamond Princess cruise ship, which set sail from Japan on the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

That was a long 40 minutes. But not in a bad way.
Interviewed the wrong people
They put more sympathetic light on the passengers who basically ate well and had a longer vacation instead of the crews.
Like, I'm sure there was still cabin fever and it sucks to be stuck in a room for months (lucky for those that book a bigger room), but the crews definitely had it worse.
Another reviewer already spelt out the hardship of what the crew had to do. The captain must be stressing thinking of what he should do to elevate the mood. How bout the food sourcing and whether management of the cruise did their best to help them?
In the end the documentary came off as entitled and not that informative or interesting.
