5/5
The film delved deeper than most into the intricacies of the case, and the main players' psyches, tracing the filaments of each without becoming either tangled up or intrusive. Go to Full Review
Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 12/11/2019
4/5
Bit by bit, the film meticulously built the case for the defence, as her lawyers set out to explain how a housewife with no history of violence could commit such a horrific act. Go to Full Review

Ever wondered who would frequent a brothel where there are trafficked women? Wealthy car dealership owner Richard Challen was That Guy. This gripping documentary follows the course of the appeal and the specific challenges her legal team faced. Go to Full Review

Fat L @Bonnie123 Dec 24 I am Sally Challen. I was beaten. Raped. Manipulated. The man I married was supposed to protect me, instead he slowly broke me down, cheating, making me feel unsure daily, insulting my meals, my ability to keep a house, my ability to do laundry. He refused to sleep in the same bed. He insulted me daily as a woman, a wife, a mother. I felt defeated. I sunk into a depression so deep, I saw no way out. I cried in the mirror every day. I worked a corporate job for 30 years and no one had a clue. I paid all the bills, managed the kids, planned the vacations, birthdays. I lived in a brain so exhausted, I could barely breath. It wasn't until I found CODA (codependence anonymous) that I started to understand my brain was addicted to "fixing" my marriage. At that time I was plotting to kill my ex husband, my children and my grandchild bc I feard they would be alone without me. CODA saved all of our lives. I left and divorced. I am only now healing but live in constant mental pain. See more Read all reviews
