Wall Street JournalDorothy RabinowitzFeb 23, 2011
Season 1 Review: Whatever the complaints about the movie, it brings home, as few films on such themes ever do, the terrors of accusation and conviction. Read full review

Season 1 Review: After watching the movie, I may not have actually changed my mind about her innocence--but for the first time, I sure have doubts. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Panettiere takes a tricky role and does it, at least, some justice. Read full review

NewsdayVerne GayFeb 23, 2011
Season 1 Review: Knox is neither absolved nor condemned, and you'll end up with more questions that you began with. But pay close attention: There are many telling little details throughout. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyKen TuckerFeb 23, 2011
Season 1 Review: This ethically debatable movie depicts her as a brat abroad, enjoying sex and drugs with her boyfriend, and implies Knox (who is appealing her conviction) did the deed. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertFeb 23, 2011
Season 1 Review: Ultimately, though, Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy isn't as sensational as it might have been. It unfolds without too much of the lurid caricature of so many other Lifetime movies. Read full review

People WeeklyTom GliattoFeb 23, 2011
Season 1 Review: If anything, it moves so tentatively through the baffling investigation and trial that Hayden Panettiere seems to play a dozen Amandas: cheerful, furtive, erratic--and at times literally clueless. [28 Feb 2011, p.40]
