Audience Member Very well-made documentary and conclusion to West Memphis Three's fight for justice. The story of each of their lives since the last film and the support they received for their release was well-executed a well-paced. The views of the victim's families and how these views have evolved were also intriguing. Jason Baldwin's speech at the end was a very fitting ending to this documentary trilogy which I thought encapsulated people's opinions and views on the matter very well. The documentary was deservedly nominated for the Best Documentary Feature Oscar but lost to Undefeated (I have not seen the winner or other nominees). Overall, a fascinating and emotional end to this trilogy that I hope deters these type of mischaracterisations from being repeated. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Joel C This final of the trilogy brings some logical answers to some questions from the past two films. Being shot on digital, this doco feels more real than the other two, which seemed almost like fiction movies by the way they were shot on film and the craziness of the eras. In this latest the answers and investigating also seems more mature and realistic. The way it ends is really strange with the court system creating some weird ruling to get what they want without having any consequences to their actions. The story, beginning in the 90's, to this final conclusion is a really strange and intriguing story, and no doubt similar stories have happened over the past few thousand years of the same nature. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/21 Full Review Audience Member A shocking conclusion to the lives of a small town thrown into constant media scrutiny after the murder of three children. Never expected where life for these people end up, but that's probably why this is more shocking and unpredictable to most mysteries. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Very frustrating end to the story. It's sad how flawed the judicial system can be. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The last nails in the coffin. Even though its being played faulty and dirty, state of Arkansas steps in the right direction. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A testament to the power of film. Berlinger and Sinofsky aren't just filmmakers; in my book, they're heroes.
