Review For West of Memphis
It's not a new story, true, but "West of Memphis" makes it both extremely personal and universally painful.Tom Long-Detroit News
We feel like we're watching an overlong true-crime television episode and not a movie.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
A real-life horror story, made no less shocking by the familiarity of its early scenes.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
While the "Paradise Lost" films captured events as they unfolded in the heat of battle, "West of Memphis" has the luxury of at least partial closure.
Ty Burr-Boston Globe
A true-crime story that begins with a notorious murder case and grows into a chilling indictment of the American justice system.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
And justice for all? Hardly.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
It effectively condenses what took the 'Paradise Lost' films nearly eight hours to reveal into a tight, snappy 149 minutes that affords you everything you need to know about the West Memphis Three.
Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger
It's another case where, instead of a prosecution having to prove a case, a defendant has to choose the lesser of two evils. "This happens all the time," defendant Damien Echols says of the whole process, and he's right.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
A sobering look at how the wheels of justice can be -- and are -- manipulated by political expediency and a small town's tendrils of the old boy network
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
The film is so utterly transfixing you won't believe almost two-and-a-half hours have passed when the final credits roll.
Tara Brady-Irish Times
I would have preferred Jackson's clinically-presented project display a bit more reverence for the three young lives that were brutally taken some twenty years ago.
Erick Weber-NECN
Moving and gruesome, West of Memphis is an eloquent disquisition on the banality of evil.
Leah Churner-Austin Chronicle
"West of Memphis" re-examines evidence and retells the story in a methodical and procedural fashion in which even the false steps lead somewhere.
Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
More a recap and appendix to the Paradise Lost trilogy... one can't help but feel that the celebrities involved needed this document of their efforts to appease their vanity.
Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
The case is more intriguing than the film about it.
Jake Mulligan-Boston Phoenix
Isn't unnecessary, but it's often superfluous.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
The film suggests these powerless, poorly educated young men were scapegoated because they would be missed by nobody of importance -- the justice system equivalent of the cannon fodder recruited from the same socioeconomic straits.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
It's nice to have all the twists and turns of the iconic case contained tidily in one well-crafted film, although there are no real revelations here.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
"West of Memphis" becomes a greatest-hits concert of prosecutorial misconduct, and you'll agree when the film asserts that prosecutors knew they had the wrong guys.
Sara Smith-Kansas City Star
Incredibly, after three documentaries on the subject, there are still things to reveal about the West Memphis Three.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
"West of Memphis" does nothing to displace its predecessor films as masterpieces of investigative filmmaking, but complements them as a riveting capstone to an epic and tragic tale.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
