Murder to Mercy: The Cyntoia Brown Story Ratings & Reviews
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Although [the movie] rightfully gives credit to the defense team that didn't give up, the documentary could have been a little more honest ... if it explored how celebrity connections to fame, power, and wealth can affect the outcome of a criminal case.
Celluloid Dreams
Peter Canavese
A sober and interesting look at the justice system.
Decider
John Serba
A sloppy, surface-level glance at a story in need of more meaningful analysis.
The Curvy Film Critic
Carla Renata
It's amazing how time after time we hear stories after story about how a young African-American life is put behind bars. Cyntoia Brown's case made national news, but the real facts and how she has navigated her release did not...until now
Common Sense Media
Barbara Shulgasser
Docu about teen sentenced to jail; mature themes, violence.

Monica Castillo
Murder to Mercy: The Cyntoia Brown Story is what happens when a crime documentary loses sight of its focus.
New York Times
Bilal Qureshi
A moving reflection of what criminal justice reform means in personal terms.
The Hollywood Reporter
Robyn Bahr
It ultimately does little to elucidate the wider social, racial or political contexts that led to her conviction or commuted sentence. In fact, it leaves enough gaps to make you question its entire point of view.
Variety
Guy Lodge
What begins as seemingly another lurid Netflix true-crime excavation emerges as a considerably more affecting testament to the damage wrought by generation upon generation of sexual abuse.
