Lovely Jackson

Not often do you get to see the story of an exonerated individual told in such an intimate manner. Rickey Jackson playing himself in this movie allows for the story to be genuine and for the viewer to understand obstacles he faced in prison.

The raw emotion presented by Rickey in the film is something I have never really encountered in films concerning the same topic. This is an innovative form of storytelling that provides the grounds for people to engage on the topic of the wrongfully convicted.

This film is informative in the sense that it touches on several issues of the American criminal justice system through the story of just one innocent man!

This completely original approach and transformation of a documentary, combined with the sheer power, emotion, and density of the story itself, combined with the incredible authenticity and open expression by the protagonist himself in his own story, will fully remove you from anything else you are thinking, doing, or worrying about for the duration of this movie... and well after! This movie will change you.

The film had a way of bringing you in and making you feel like you were a part of it. It tugged on your heart and the way it was edited was so immersive. After finding out the actors improvised large portions, I'm even more impressed.

The story of Rickey Jackson is most certainly a roller coaster of emotions. It brings such a human element to the prison system and shows you so many things you really didn't want to imagine would happen to a good person but did. He is a tough, kind person and it is shown throughout the film.

Congratulations on a wonderful film to the entire crew involved. Best wishes to Mr. Jackson in all of his future endeavors.

This is a gripping and fascinating story of how Ricky Johnson was wrongfully accused and sent to prison for 39 years (the longest in American history) and never broke his spirit.

What an incredible story... I have found myself thinking about this one for days after seeing it. Very intense, and even had a number of twists and turns.

The production and fx really were a nice addition to the already incredible story.

Cannot believe this man spent 39 YEARS in prison for a CRIME HE DIDN'T COMMIT.
