Critic Reviews

Marc Mohan

Powerfully explores the struggles faced by those whom DNA testing has exonerated after years behind bars. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Calm, deliberate and devastating, Jessica Sanders's documentary After Innocence confirms many of the worst fears about weaknesses in the American criminal-justice system. Read full review

Jeremy Mathews

Jessica Sanders has observed a collection of lives dramatically altered by a flawed legal system. Read full review

Ty Burr

After Innocence isn't bravura filmmaking, and it doesn't have to be -- this is one of those documentaries where the subject is compelling enough to do the legwork. Read full review

Carrie Rickey

In her clear and compelling film, Sanders lets the innocents do the talking. Read full review

Sheri Linden

Puts a human face on the failings of the American judicial system and the growing importance of DNA in legal proceedings. Read full review

Noel Murray

Taylor does her cause no real favors by trotting out only the most articulate, most clearly railroaded exonerees. It should be just as chilling to learn that even the shady get screwed. Read full review

Bothered by Barry Scheck's role (he helped get O.J. off), but otherwise this is a nice piece of work.
