      KeErica W The acting my Bill Pullman was very good ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Nancy K The dialog is very realistic supported by great acting by everyone. Far above the average made-for-tv movie or any other kind of movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review J A The movie is not quite awful. It oversimplifies a longer and more complex story in a way that a good network (e.g., BBC) would not do. If necessary to fit the story into allotted time, you need to allow more time. Also, as a result, people shout or shriek conclusions without buildup or motivation. The dialogue is like off of somebody's checklist. The actors were apparently told to sound "Southern," and so they sound like they're from Tennessee. People in low-country South Carolina talk very differently. The exception somewhat is when the trial starts. A trial of many days is condensed to a few days, but they capture some important questions and answers, verbatim I think. Pullman delivers the trial persona of Alex Murdaugh pretty well. The judge's admonition to Murdaugh at sentencing was on par with Shakespeare, and they quote it, although not with the gravitas and articulation of the real Judge Newman. (Viewers should seek out and watch the real Judge Newman's delivery of Alex Murdaugh's sentence. It is brief, chilling and exactly what needed to be said.) Nevertheless, if you want the story, read the news accounts and watch video of the trial. You get a Cliff Notes abridgement from this movie. You won't get a real understanding of this incredibly bizarre-but-real combination of the multitude of bizarre-but-real Alex Murdaugh storylines from this movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Avalon T I really enjoyed this drama. I thought Bill Pullman demonstrated an excellent portrayal of the deterioration and character of Murdaugh. Well acted and interesting movie. I would recommend watching it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Shawna M Cannot get past the horrible camera angles and framing of the shots. Incredibly distracting. Actors are completely off screen while talking. Shots of half faces, cabinets and blurry images. Wow! DP should be fired. Geez. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review Tiffany G Part 1 Review: https://wp.me/p65txm-erU/#MurdaughMurders Part 2 Review: https://wp.me/p65txm-etP/#MurdaughMurders Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Liz Kocan Decider Murdaugh Murders is a passable Lifetime movie that’s a part of its Ripped From The Headlines series: perhaps if the headlines hadn’t already told us SO much about the Murdaughs, it might be more intriguing. Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
