...it feels as if it's cutting corners in an effort to hide revelations that might complicate our feelings about this tragedy. At 83 minutes, it's a case of brevity stymying intense engagement...

The documentary is truly at its strongest as we watch Belinda's shifting understanding of justice and revenge... While occasionally bumpy, it's worth watching Why Did You Kill Me? for these deeply human moments alone.

4/5

Given all the tangents, director Frederick Munk wrangles this unwieldy story into a cogent and dramatically absorbing narrative.

What unfolds is sporadically fascinating, but also achingly sad and angering, that the families of murder victims should have to fund and manage their own investigations.

Why Did You Kill Me? smartly uses its 83 min on finding Crystal Theobald's killer. Unfortunately, Crystal gets very little backstory, leaving me wanting more emotional beats.

About 3/4 of the way through this , I realized that all of the people in this case have a depraved world view. It's very depressing. It's also becoming obvious that Netflix has a liberal bias.

It takes inspiration from other more recent streaming true crime documentaries and films to make a truly twisted tale of accounts.

This documentary impacted every emotion. Resulting in two victims. Broken families and broken hearts. A true testament to human nature and family. A mother who will do anything to stop the pain and find the killer. A true study of the feeling of belongingness. A must see for everyone!
