“Sorry/Not Sorry” co-director Caroline Suh entered her examination of Louis C.K. as a fan. When the documentary filmmaker first read the 2017 New York Times story detailing his years-long pattern of sexual misconduct, she said her initial feeling was one of loss, “that kind of pain of like, ‘Oh, this is a shame that he's no longer going to be able to perform.’ Obviously, that didn't end up being the case.”
Equally as obvious, or it should be, is that Suh’s feelings about the comedian have changed. The same can be said about many who once considered themselves part of the comic’s fanbase and others who still do. His supporters seem more entrenched in their allegiance to C.K. than ever out of a respect for comedy itself, free speech or taking a stand against the #MeToo movement or whatever concept of political correctness exists.
