After Innocence Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Sanders shows that America's criminal justice system may be more criminal than just.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
After Innocence is a crusading documentary driven by DNA testing that's brought freedom for men who served years in prison for crimes they didn't commit.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
Eye-opening.
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
Despite its flaws After Innocence raises staggering questions about virtually every aspect of the criminal-justice system.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
After Innocence is, without making it overly obvious, anti-death penalty on the grounds that a just society cannot afford to make any mistakes that we cannot attempt to rectify.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Informative (we learn, for example, that exonerees are generally given no follow-up assistance upon release, as parolees are) and deeply moving.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Each lost face in the documentary is a burning reminder of the human toll when our justice system succumbs to its imperfections.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Sanders is more interested in specific human struggles than in larger political points, but she knows these men form a mosaic with a message that's unmistakable.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Deeply touching and overwhelmingly sad.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
Even-handed but quietly devastating.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
[A] rousing, quietly outraged documentary.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Sanders' report from a new frontier in American jurisprudence is filled with the hopeful, haunted look of men who won't easily be forgotten.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
In her clear and compelling film, Sanders lets the innocents do the talking.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
The moral purity of After Innocence is so overwhelming that it simply leaves you with nothing to say or do. It's kind of beyond criticism.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Taylor does her cause no real favors by trotting out only the most articulate, most clearly railroaded exonerees.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The film cuts away from such personal stories too quickly, eager to sell us on airy, unjustified claims.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
A powerful indictment of a judicial system too anxious to close cases, and then close ranks when someone tries to reopen them.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Calm, deliberate and devastating, Jessica Sanders's documentary confirms many of the worst fears about weaknesses in the American criminal-justice system.
Village Voice
Jennifer Gonnerman
Both riveting and disturbing.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
After Innocence doesn't inspire much confidence in the American legal system.
