Movie Reviews

The A.V. Club - 9/10 by Noel MurrayMinimizes music and effects, relying on artful, informative screen titles to explain the action and letting the action explain the rest.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanUltimately, the film is so determinedly evenhanded, it probably won't change anybody's mind. But no matter where you stand, it's likely to leave a lasting impression.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by David SterrittThe documentary is revealing and chilling, although it doesn't explore the inner workings of the American criminal-justice system as thoroughly as one might wish.
New York Post - 7/10 by Jonathan ForemanCompelling but self-undermining documentary.
New York Times - 7/10 by Julie SalamonOffers an unusual opportunity to observe the inequities in the death penalty, not just the inherent immorality but also the haphazard administration of it and public misperception of how the whole thing works.
Variety - 7/10 by Robert KoehlerAt its best, Garbus' account quietly depicts a set of wasted lives, and a closing image of Allen's plywood casket carted away by a bulldozer is emblematic of the tragedy.
Apollo Guide - 6/10 by Jon Lap[Garbus] discards the potential for pathological study, exhuming instead, the skewed melodrama of the circumstantial situation.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Michael MillerAchieves a torturous, race-against-time desperation.
Film Threat - 6/10 by Merle BertrandBelieve it or not, most of the empathy here is with Wand Jean's legal team. Yes, the lawyers.
