This is a deeply important movie, honestly and beautifully, told. The acting was impeccable and the score was beautiful. The story is truly powerful. Every American should see this movie. We need to understand the ugly truth of how the criminal justice system really functions in our country, and understand the heroism of the people who fight for real justice.
The number of people walking out of this movie in tears is enough you need to know. An emotionally draining film that is honest and not withholding.
Hope--- is my favorite word. This story is heartfelt and will touch your soul. It did mine.
This was such a great movie but hurts to know that this takes place every single day in our judicial system. The film is based on a true story and is amazing when you see what miracles they did with such a limited budget. Glad to know amazon gave this story a chance and look forward to great movies like this in the future. Well done
Having gone into this movie knowing nothing about this case, I must say this movie captivated me and kept me intrigued throughout the entire movie. As the movie progressed I found myself sitting up in bed, not daring to look away from the screen. It pulled all of my emotions into it making me angry, sad, excited, happy.. and I found myself yelling at the TV time and time again out of frustration. And being based on a true story and getting to see some of the live footage at the end of the film was the cherry on top.
This is a truly fantastic movie that I cannot recommend enough. It will pull you in and make you truly care for the characters. When the characters cried, I cried, when the characters were mad, I was mad. I've always believed that a great movie is one that makes you forget that you're watching a movie, and this one did exactly that. Highly recommend watching this movie.
