After just watching the documentary Amanda Knox I decided to give this a watch. Its... good. Not bad, not very good. The acting is ok, but for some reason the cinematography doesn't feel authentic at all. Plus there are a few glaring inconsistencies and I'm inclined to believe the documentary which was made years after this film. Its a good watch though and overall tells the story of the Meredith Kercher murder.

Great movie. Being wrongfully accused can be traumatizing. Highly recommend others to watch it.

This was decent. I'm glad that it did not show her as the innocent one but also didn't paint her as the murderer either, seemed ti be right down the middle, which I could appreciate. I don't see how she couldn't be involved in it but that's just my opinion, I'm just glad that something came out that didn't take one side over another

Watched solely due to interest in the topic. With that being said, I did not have much information on the case other than what recollections of past tabloids painted the picture of. Regardless, the film was well-rounded. I say that because it gives mostly facts about Amanda Knox's statements and actions, but we don't know Amanda's POV necessarily. Overall I would say it is watchable especially if you are interested in the topic. Not like a documentary, either.

vi la historia real y ahora veo la pelÃcula que no es la mejor pero la verdad que no se va lejos de lo farandulera que era.

Follows very closely the first 3/4 of Amanda Knoxs Book....and is basically a partial reenactment made for TV which lacks cinematic creativity. I do think Hayden Panetierre plays Knox well but unfortunately doesn't capture her real personality and naive nature . All opinions aside, this is still a must see for anyone who got wrapped up in the Knox story and Trial coverage. 2.5 stars

Graphic biopic on notorious murder trial is too sensational.

There's ultimately never a point at which Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy doesn't play like a reenactment on America's Most Wanted...
