Review of Amanda Knox (2016) by Scraper — 02 Oct 2016

"Amanda Knox" keeps the viewer right by it's side as the case unfolds. The terrifying reality of the events and their lengthy burn through the lives of those it touched resonates deeply. Another very interesting aspect is that those involved in the murder and the "solving" of it are not quite lucid yet.

Some interviewees struck me as too near-sighted, too fresh to see the facts and therefore were tainted still. For example, the media, for as vile as their coverage, as botched as their facts were, seemed remorseless and still hungry for more.

This isn't a criticism of the movie, but jaw-dropping with the things they said and their on-going beliefs of what really happened and the way they'll continue to operate in the world. Like watching an animal in the wild before it knows you're there.

Crime drama cannot touch was this piece achieved.
