Three exonerated ex-prisoners rebuild their lives while running a Dallas detective agency created to free innocent people from jail.

Jason Bailey

Flavorwire

It's an inspiring yet imperfect film - but the fictionalized version would make a helluva TV procedural.

Shadow and Act

True Conviction is powerful and devastating. It's a film about the injustices in our judicial system and the lack of compassion that we have for one another.

Nick Rogers

Midwest Film Journal

So eager to carve out a piece of the profitable true-crime pie that it slides a serving fork under the crust altogether - all topping, no foundation. It too often buries human foibles and social commentary under forced storytelling artifice.

Rated: 2/5

The Film Stage

This is an illuminating documentary highlighting the importance of this work: digging in and asking the tough questions that prosecutors and detectives looking to make a quick arrest simply do not.

Rated: B

The topic is important, and holds significance for so many people. The documentary follows the 'investigators', but it feels like a lot of the interviews are somehow not as 'real' or revealing as they might have been if it weren't for the documentary cameras recording them. Although there's no real feeling of attachment to or warmth towards the team, what they say, and how they interact with convicts is emotional and real

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
