Critic Reviews

Dorothy Rabinowitz

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

Paige Wiser

Panettiere takes a tricky role and does it, at least, some justice. Read full 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

Ken Tucker

Feb 23, 2011

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

Mark A. Perigard

Feb 23, 2011

It's an extended "Law & Order" that never settles on a verdict. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Feb 23, 2011

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

Tom Gliatto

Feb 23, 2011

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]
