3/5  "A gripping documentary."
-- Merle Bertrand, FILM THREAT

  "Worth a look by those on both sides of the issues, if only for the perspective it offers, one the public rarely sees."
-- MaryAnn Johanson, FLICK FILOSOPHER

3/4  "You will emerge with a clearer view of how the gears of justice grind on and the death report comes to share airtime alongside the farm report."
-- Joshua Tanzer, OFFOFFOFF

3.5/5  "Sensitively examines general issues of race and justice among the poor, and specifically raises serious questions about the death penalty and asks what good the execution of a mentally challenged woman could possibly do."
-- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE

60/100  "[Garbus] discards the potential for pathological study, exhuming instead, the skewed melodrama of the circumstantial situation."
-- Jon Lap, APOLLO GUIDE

3/4  "Compelling but self-undermining documentary."
-- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST

  "As Allen's execution date closes in, the documentary gives an especially poignant portrait of her friendship with the never flagging legal investigator David Presson."
-- Michael Miller, VILLAGE VOICE

3.5/5  "Offers an unusual opportunity to observe the inequities in the death penalty, not just the inherent immorality but also the haphazard administration of it and public misperception of how the whole thing works."
-- Julie Salamon, NEW YORK TIMES
