This is a fascinating story with something to say about how the legal system can’t always offer a definitive answer about what’s true.

What's interesting about this true crime story is that it lets us see how the legal system works, a system that is thought by many to be far from perfect.

Rated: B

Capital Times (Madison, WI)

“Beyond Human Nature” doesn’t solve the notorious Monfils case and doesn’t try to. Instead, it’s a gripping documentary that looks fairly at all sides of a complicated case that has divided Green Bay for over three decades.

Rated: 3/4

Takes about 5 minutes for this to grab your attention and then never let go with plenty of shocking elements and a full roller coaster of emotions. Must-watch and available as a free legal stream if you search for it.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great movie where the facts are presented in a beautiful way. You'll have mixed emotions at the end, but still feel as if you are closer to the truth.

I didn't see 1 minute of defense evidence for any of the convicted. There was nothing new in this documentary. Not worth watching. Googling is free. The DA got it right and Cal Monfils is an idiot.

This film is an old tale, told with modern day techniques. The death of Tom Monfils is one that needs much more exploring and this film does a deep dive into a lot of the facts that came out about his work life, some of his personal life... but also his co-workers at the papermill. This movie is up there with The Staircase, Making a Murderer and many more. I highly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

What a fascinating story! This documentary differentiates itself from others in the true crime space with its unique, engaging format. The cinematography is also unparalleled and creates and "edge of your seat" experience throughout. Very highly recommended. I watch a lot of documentaries and this is one of the best I've seen in a many years.

Such an interesting story that I had never heard about! Having gone to school near Green Bay I found the local lore super compelling. The cinematography was incredible and I especially loved the nonjudgmental perspective. The film does a wonderful job of presenting all sides of the story without leading the audience to conclusions. I recommend for all true crime fans!
