Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Aug 27 This is a tragic story about a wrongfully accused American student Amanda Knox for the murder of another student. The justice system in Italy is a joke. The real murderer got a slap on the wrist and I can't believe he's roaming free today. Hayden Panetttiere did a very good job and for a lifetime movie overall it was ok.

See more 10/26/2020 Amanda Knox was smart, beautiful, and a free spirit. And all of these worked against her. They tried to suggest that because she liked boys and sex that must mean she's guilty. See more Simon T @MovieTart 07/25/2020 Dubious PR for the self-pitying and rather irritating Amanda Knox, who notoriously was charged/acquitted/charged/acquitted of the savage murder of fellow student, Meredith Kercher, alongside boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito. The elephant in the room is the extraordinary lack of respect or sensitivity shown by most of the protagonists towards Kercher, nowhere more clear than in the glib strutting of a so-called journalist with the hilariously appropriate name Nick Pisa. The documentary this aches to be has yet to be made. See more 05/12/2020 This is a remarkable story and yet another example of how the justice system — this time in Italy — can treat people so badly. Even though we know the outcome, the story is riveting from beginning to end. One of the things I like about a lot of recent documentaries is the way they use footage without third party commentary interviews of people not involved in the story. Obviously, the way a documentary maker puts together a story is affected by their perspective. But, at least, the viewer can form their own opinion recognising that there will always be other perspectives that different people involved may have. It does, however, seem that this documentary is presented in a balanced way. Obviously, we may never know the absolute truth about some cases like this; but at least it casts an incisive eye on the events which raise some reasonable doubts and exposes the way the media can distort and sensationalise events in such a way that individuals often don't obtain a fair trial. There's one reporter, Tony Pisa, who is particularly shameless in describing how he used this case for his own professional ego promotion. The other thing this documentary does very well is never let us forget that one of the victims in this tragedy, Meredith Kercher, was murdered. The death of this young woman was the ultimate tragedy in this story. Engrossing viewing. See more 03/24/2019 So much better than I expected. See more Read all reviews
