The Phantom Ratings & Reviews
World Socialist Web Site
Joanne Laurier
The documentary offers a damning portrait of the US criminal legal system, whose countless victims are predominantly poor and disenfranchised.
San Antonio Current
Kiko Martinez
It'll be hard for audiences to not be upset at the situation that unfolds.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
The inescapable and infuriating conclusion of Forbes' film is that one Latino man was pretty much the same as another to the largely white police officers and prosecutors, especially when the victim was also Latino.
MovieJawn
Dan Scully
Smartly acts as a voice for both Wanda and Carlos, two folks whose lives were taken by others long before their time.
CWEB.com
Tony Medley
...an indictment of attorneys, and they deserve it...makes a pretty persuasive case for Deluna's innocence...truth that could have been discovered with a little diligence.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The incident and its aftermath has an entire thriller's worth of twists and turns, and the film makes persuasive arguments regarding racial bias and the death penalty.
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
The first part of The Phantom could almost be a summation to the jury by the prosecution.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Adapting research that is, by now, hardly breaking news, Forbes has some solid strategies for making the material cinematic.
Variety
Joe Leydon
A fascinating and ultimately infuriating look at a fatal miscarriage of justice in Texas.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
The Phantom makes a persuasive argument that DeLuna was wrongly executed for a crime he didn't commit yet fails to come up with a definitive account of what caused that to take place-save, that is, for general shoddiness. That doesn't neuter its point...
