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.

WEST OF MEMPHIS delivers a gripping overall picture of the West Memphis 3 wrongful-conviction saga....Thorny, blood-boiling and finely made...
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 3/5 --
West of Memphis could have made a statement about presumptions and the fallibility of our justice system. Instead, we see millionaires like Vedder feeling good about themselves for saving three innocent people.

A real-life horror story, made no less shocking by the familiarity of its early scenes.

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.
