    Interviews with old school friends, remembering a young woman frozen in time, were supplemented with animations of Lee. This was a potentially exploitative flourish that somehow landed the right side of mawkish. ... [Amy Berg] took a person who had been defined only by a terrible evil done to her – and the media carnival that followed with Serial – and restored her right to be remembered as a human being.

    It is skilfully created, and mostly empathetically told by the director Amy Berg. And yet it’s still uncomfortable to watch.

    The Case Against Adnan Syed may present more facts, but it has less to offer in the way of deeper, broader truth.
