  ★★★★ review by Rocco on Letterboxd

  There is a line toward the end regarding Mike Nifong where someone says that there is no worse punishment for a lawyer than to be disbarred. That man should still be in jail for what he did and, more importantly, attempted to do.

  ★★★★ review by Dirk Diggler: European Jiggler on Letterboxd

  77/100

  Considering how few resources the filmmakers had to work with, this is an exceptionally well-made and engaging documentary. It could have done a bit more to more naturally pace the big reveals and really turn audiences on their heads, but I'm inclined to give it a pass because had it really tried to manipulate audiences more, it would have been antithetical to its own purpose.

  ★★★★ review by thaistanley on Letterboxd

  I would be lying if I didn't say I was coming into this film with my own predisposition, so color me surprised when the documentary didn't go down the path that you naturally expect it would go. The film does a great job revealing the prejudices of its viewers, much like the real life subjects themselves. It's a fascinating documentary and reminds us that it's dangerous to assume who's guilty without the collection of evidence beforehand to prove otherwise.

  ★★★★½ review by Chris Brookins on Letterboxd

  Great movie. 30 for 30 has some good stuff. I feel bad that I knew about this case and thought I knew the outcome.
