Review of Amanda Knox (2016) by Brandon W — 02 Oct 2016

Amanda Knox is directed by Rod Blackhurst and Brian McGinn, and it's a Netflix documentary about Amanda Knox's life during the murder of Meredith Kercher and whether she's guilty or not. After watching JeruZalem which I wanted to see it because of the high reviews which turned out to be an awful film, I wanted to see this after because I actually wanted to see it as it looked really interesting.

I barely remembered any news about Amanda Knox, just only the name, so I pretty much was open to the situation and wanted to see if she's innocent or not. Turns out that Amanda Knox is a very fascinating documentary that really told it as it is that needs to be shown to the public about what's it going on.

It's interesting to hear about Amanda Knox's backstory as it gives us some information about what she was like before the whole incident happened. It does get into it pretty quickly, and the longer it keeps going, the more invested I want to know about how it happened after that and what the endgame is going to be.

What I love about this film, is the absolute uncertainty to this that when you think it's going towards that side, the next scene after that shows other facts that make you think the other way which makes you wonder about if it's going to lead this side or the other, until the end comes in and you realize about what it actually is, but even then it's not 100% on it's certainty.

When Amanda Knox tells her story side to this, it makes sense about the situation, but when you hear the prosecutor's side to it, the situation from his point of view makes sense, which makes the whole thing unclear about whether Amanda Knox is telling the truth or not.

In the end, Amanda Knox is a fantastic documentary that probably offers some new twists to the story for some people that think they know the full story.
