Ms. Wang does a few amazing things that are more about the filmmaker than the filmmaking—she gets almost everyone important to talk, for one thing. ... The wild card in the astonishing, enthralling “Mind Over Murder”—which really deserved a more distinctive title—is the play being staged in Beatrice while Ms. Wang is in town shooting. (This is no coincidence: It was Ms. Wang’s idea and part of the HBO-powered production.) ... Understanding the importance of the play—and art itself, as it happens—will require viewers to watch the entire series. Try and stop them.

A provocotive and immense doco-series that does an excellent job of telling all sides of this complicated tragedy.
