Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times There is unlikely to be anything else on TV this week, or this month, more disturbing than this film. Watching it, you feel like an eyewitness to injustice. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics (Substack) Not ignoring all the good that the Paradise Lost trilogy did for three specific innocent men who were wrongfully imprisoned for 17 years, Paradise Lost 2 has to be recognized for its harm as well. Feb 7, 2024 Full Review David Keyes Cinemaphile.org The unanswered questions at the end of "Paradise Lost" were the kind that could inspire not only a need for a follow-up documentary, but indeed an entire political movement. Sep 19, 2013 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 30, 2005 Full Review Joe Utichi FilmFocus While not quite as objective as the first film, Paradise Lost 2 does seem to do a better job of raising awareness of the case. Rated: 73/100 May 30, 2005 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson New Times Somewhat less successful than the original, not just because it necessarily must lean heavily on clips from the first movie Rated: 3/5 Jun 29, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Mls B Just not that good. Had it's parts but overall not good Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review Audience Member The greatest 01 hour: and 40 minutes of real footage!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member This is beyond bullshit. There are so many cracks/chinks in the case against the West Memphis 3 that it would be laughable if the 3 weren't still in jail. The cops refuse to admit their shoddy police work, the worst of which was a coerced confession of a boy with 72 IQ (sound familiar... Brandon Dassey... yes I know this film/case came first). But there's still a ray of light in that the teens are holding up well and making the best of an atrocious situation. And thank god for the support for the West Memphis 3 due to the airing of part 1. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member An update of the lives torn apart by the murders of three children in a small town. With a lot refusals for the documentarians to film, the focus gravitates around one of the more vocal parents of the deceased and a group supporting the three convicted as the legal process continues to unravel. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This one gave a little more information than the first, but it included a lot of flashbacks and information from the first one. It did a great job of making me dislike Mark Byers even more. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The struggle for justice continue, providing more and more facts. Though keep banging their head against a judge not willing to risk his career. The Memphis three looking even more innocent, though stepfather Bryce looking like a benzodiazepem wreecking, which he ceartainly was back then. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
