Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media While Murder by the Coast exposes the unfairness of a police investigation based on homophobic bias, it otherwise presents its subjects in a fairly routine, bland, and unimaginative manner. Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2021 Full Review John Serba Decider The growing sense of weariness around true crime docs may affect the viewership of Murder by the Coast, but that doesn't mean it isn't a worthy piece of journalism. Jun 24, 2021 Full Review Andrea G. Bermejo Cinemanía (Spain) [Director Tània Balló] displays great intelligence in the way she chooses images with definitive care and portrays the victims without revictimizing them.

inta k interesting events and story Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review avindu g A vicious murder ! A community stolen of it's sense of familiarity and the feel at home coming together. A nation seeking justice for the lost lives. Misconceptions and prejudice misleading all and allowing the predator strike once more. If it's not for the vigilance of a one lady and the last victim who put up a fight , would this mystery have gone unsolved? Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Another great true-crime doc.. This one thankfully has an ending in which you find out who the perpetrator is! A story that reminded me that people are not just wrongfully convicted in the United States. (Or France for those who watched "Sophie - A Murder in West Cork") Definitely worth watching. Although it is based in Spain, the English version is well translated, and sub-titled. For the most part, it gets straight to the point. If this were a US production, it probably would have required two, or three 90 minute episodes. However, this doc gets through the fairly complicated story in just about 100 minutes. Great watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review william k More than just a true crime documentary this film presents the case of an outrageous injustice and analyzes the prejudices and media hysteria that caused it.
