Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The new film, despite the astounding story it tells, is the most conventional, least urgent and, cinematically, the least interesting of the three.

In the shadow of such sickness, all the personal dramas can't help but pale, but there are still surprising and powerful moments.

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

The new film is more informational than resonant. But you can still sense a vacuum, a rat pit of stories waiting to be unearthed. The dark something that triggered the whole ordeal in West Memphis is still out there.

First and foremost a testament to the power of the documentary.
