From what I've read on it (and I don't know the case well enough, or have watched this), the documentary is heavily one-sided against Allen -

As for what will happen to him... Amazon had signed a deal to release a number of his films, but backed out when these allegations surfaced a couple years ago. He sued for breach of contract and won, but his last two films struggled to find distribution in the US and only came out on VOD. His reputation is in better shape in Europe so he'll probably find producers there, but his films will probably fly low under the radar over here. His autobiography was dropped by his publisher until it was picked up by a smaller publishing house.
Admittedly I'm a fan of his work, but I do find it egregious that he's essentially been labeled a paedophile based on this one incident (which he was cleared of) and literally no other allegations surfacing in his 80+ years of life. Yet, he gets put in the same group as Cosby or Epstein, people who left a slew of victims in their wake. To be clear, I have no idea if the incident happened the way the Farrows lay out, but nor does anyone else. Though of course if there's even a whiff of scandal about you these days, off the cliff you go.
