    The hallmark of all three films has been their understanding and embrace of subjects' self-presentations./

    Paradise Lost 3 is perhaps the most interesting and well-made film of the trilogy

    Paradise Lost 3 never loses sight of the sickening black humor of it all--how Echols, Baldwin, and Misskelley became, in effect, mere extras in a shadowplay about the omnipotence of the state. In the shadow of such sickness, all the personal dramas can't help but pale, but there are still surprising and powerful moments.
