| User ReviewPrivate UI can't rave enough about this film. This is some seriously good filmmaking! Don't read anything about it. Just watch it. |
| User ReviewDominic FAbsolutely breath taking, hard to watch it was so great .... I sat at the edge of my seat- in the way only a brilliant: documentary can make you do. Pat Mcguinness definitely has a first class seat to Heaven, for man is of the best sorts. I adore his wit ....he keeps even the most uncomfortable of moments entertaining with his smart ass humor, love him!! Watch this and you won't be disappointed. |
| User ReviewAndra GIf there is *any* doubt in your mind whether the US criminal justice is severely racially biased, you need to see this movie. The chance of this ordeal happening to a white kid is 0. |
| User ReviewDiana YPat McGuinness if you are reading this - please know that as a fellow attorney, I have the utmost admiration and respect for you. You are an inspiration and I hope to one day be able to change someone's life like you have. |
| User ReviewRobert JThis is, and always will be, the greatest documentary ever made. |
| User ReviewMichael GThis is a great piece of cinema. This documentary deals with the unjust charge of murder against a black teen in Florida. It is able to show the influence present when racism is involved and is effective in detailing to the us the inner workings of the judicial system. Another example of real life being greater than fiction and a must see for all fans of movies of different genres. |
| User Reviewraven [This academy award-winning documentary is equally heart warming and heartbreaking. A brilliant portrayal of justice in America's legal system. |
| User ReviewBradley SExcellent documentary. It's nice to see a true hero, Patrick McGuiness (the boys lawyer), in this day and age. Justice served and to think this case had to be reopened. What in the world happened the first time around? Inspiring movie. |
| User ReviewDeadly VIncredible documentary of a murder trial. |
| User ReviewGregory FWithout a doubt the most compelling courtroom documentary ever made. |
