Riveting and unnerving as it is uncompromising, Citizen Sleuth is a must-see for true crime fans.

One of the best dissections of our current obsession with true crime that I’ve ever seen.

This thought-provoking documentary is essential viewing for any amateur detective who's wondered if they might be the Nancy Drew to get to the bottom of a case, or any true crime junkie who consumes material related to these important stories.

"Citizen Slueth" [is] a layered, and dare I say, a wildly entertaining interrogation into the moral grey area between fact and fiction in true crime subculture.

Rated: 3.5/5

Even if you come to this already aware of the outcome, following all of the switchbacks still proves intriguing enough.

I was excited to see it, but I could barely stay awake as I kept waiting for something exciting to happen. Sorry, I wasted my money on it.
