Nick Schager The Daily Beast What it proffers, ultimately, isn’t a definitive answer to its title question, but rather a snapshot of the pain, fury, and annihilation wrought by senseless, mysterious tragedy. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Radhika Menon Decider There isn’t anything groundbreaking about the filmmaking, but the true crime at the center of the story is compelling.

B P A Docu-Series That Runs Too Long and Has Too Little to Say. ‘Taken Together’ has potential but gets weighed down by its superfluous runtime. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Stephanie H. L As an Iowan watching this was heartbreaking. I have seen basically all documentaries, articles and podcasts of their case. This one did the most justice & wasn’t tasteless like others I’ve seen. If these girls never get justice, that’s the biggest heartbreak ever. Well done Dylan, I hope you make more tru-crime as this was well put together and executed. Perhaps you can do the Perry High School shooting next as tips were given to fbi months before attack. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review The S This is a case where it could have just been an episode of Unsolved Mysteries. Horrible, unfortunate event…no doubt about that. The director has interviews that span a decade but the problem is that it doesn’t add anything to the story. And that’s mostly because the killer was never caught. Had that happened, the time span might have meant something but what the police knew in the first year is pretty much what they still know. And so the families are still in that limbo they began in after the bodies were found. So the story itself and all of its developments could have easily fit into a single episode. Not sure why HBO keeps pumping these 3-episode series out that are 90 minute stories stretched out into 4-hour presentations. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
