Rating: 2/4 --
We feel like we're watching an overlong true-crime television episode and not a movie.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rating: 3.5/4 --
A real-life horror story, made no less shocking by the familiarity of its early scenes.
Seattle Times
Rating: B+ --
It's not a new story, true, but "West of Memphis" makes it both extremely personal and universally painful.

[Berg] tells the story with unprecedented clarity. She has a dramatist's eye for what was irretrievably lost -- the innocent lives of the children, plus 18 years of three other innocent lives.
Wall Street Journal
Rating: 3/5 --
Sadly hindered by some questionable finger-pointing and an inappropriately celebratory ending... But West of Memphis is still commendable in its scope and passion.

West of Memphis is a weighty expose of human nature, and Berg proves herself once again to be a master of her craft.

Rating: 3/4 --
It tells the story of a terrible crime compounded by a grave injustice that's been remedied, but only in part, so it's impossible to have a single or simple response to the movie.

Product Description:
Although the infamous case of the West Memphis Three has already been the subject of three first-class documentaries from director Joe Berlinger, Amy Berg's WEST OF MEMPHIS again explores the oft-documented incarceration of three teenagers for a triple homicide that many believe they never committed. Co-produced by one of the three supposedly falsely convicted men, WEST OF MEMPHIS lays out the case for their innocence and details how a number of high-profile figures -- including Eddie Vedder, Johnny Depp, and Natalie Maines -- helped raise money and awareness in order to free the trio. WEST OF MEMPHIS played at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.
