Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express The Perfect Neighbor is a reminder of how dangerous America can be, how cheap human lives can get and how easily they can be snuffed out. May 14, 2025 Full Review Justin Chang The New Yorker Through these reams of footage, brilliantly pieced together by the editor Viridiana Lieberman, a pattern of devastating coherence emerges. Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Nicolas Rapold Financial Times The Perfect Neighbor carefully depicts a modest corner of Ocala, Florida, where children play among single-level houses, and finds nuances in community-police relations. Feb 8, 2025 Full Review Alan Zilberman Washington City Paper Not a traditional crime polemic, The Perfect Neighbor is more like a case study, an illustration of how bad policy and poor judgment can lead to a body count. Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Scott Phillips Forbes This is powerful, compelling filmmaking that doesn't lose the human cost in the true crime trappings of it all. Jun 22, 2025 Full Review Harris Dang Impulse Gamer The Perfect Neighbour is an enraging indictment of gun politics and hate crime in America and a fantastic piece of innovation in the documentary genre. Highly recommended. Rated: 5/5 Jun 8, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
