Leave your thoughts about West of Memphis.
| NPRLinda HolmesWhile West Of Memphis won't surprise anyone who's followed the case, it does play its own role, particularly in illuminating how unsatisfying the end of the story really was. |
| HeyUGuysCraig SkinnerAn absorbing and emotional journey, West of Memphis is one of the best documentaries of 2012 so far. |
| About.comJennifer MerinA gripping investigative documentary about the infamous West Memphis Three murder case, raising the question of whether citizens should ever settle for partial justice. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertDo we need a fourth film? Yes, I think we do. If you only see one of them, this is the one to choose, because it has the benefit of hindsight. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlThat makes this the most rare of films: one that indisputably matters. And one that stuns. |
| Electric SheepMark StaffordI was never bored, it's very much recommended, but viewers should be warned that it contains a lot of distressing forensic footage. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyThe film is so utterly transfixing you won't believe almost two-and-a-half hours have passed when the final credits roll. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunA frankly extraordinary document about the three innocent children who were murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas and the three innocent teenagers who spent 18 years in prison for the crime. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsLess an investigative report than a portrait of the community that forms around an ongoing court case, this conveys a patient understanding of the intricacies of law and human behavior that may be termed Kieslowskian. |
| amNewYorkRobert LevinA definitive portrait of a real-life travesty of justice. Provides a strong sense of the scope of this tragedy and a thoughtful investigative probing of the facts behind it. |
