Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
I don't want to give to much away in terms of this film because it really is fascinating, but I will say that the film helps crystalize major flaws in our legal system.

... a complicated tale that exposes how a credible case can be built upon perjuries and fabrications.

Hunt spent the next 20 years of his life trying to prove his innocence, and documentary filmmakers Annie Sunberg and Ricki Stern captured more than a decade of his struggle. If you've never seen a lawyer cry before, this is the film to catch.

Rating: 4/4 --
The uplift here is honestly earned, because it is so beautifully contrasted with harrowing venality and willful ignorance.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Throughout the film, Hunt emerges as a likable man with a deep religious faith and an astonishing ability to reject anger and bitterness.
