I've never seen such a wide disparity of reviews between pro and audience reviewers on RT. Currently 6% "fresh" by pros and 99% audience fresh. Many of the audience reviews are one or two sentences at most so I suspect the score is "gamed". Too, the type of person likely to pay their own money for this is unlikely to leave a negative review. I'm mildly interested in seeing this magnum opus but I can't find anyone to go with me to the theater . . . from the previews I saw, this is definitely a film you don't see by yourself.
Deviating here slightly, I'm really surprised you mention Riefenstahl. Although the mention is apt, the nazi baggage she carries will make that association very troubling to many . . . Even here in the placid, apolitical backwaters of "films".
