I'm posting this here, because according to my search it's not been posted in over six years. This is my fifth or sixth time seeing it, it's my favorite documentary, and I think the best true crime documentary ever made.

It was very controversial when it was released because it was also the first documentary to use reenactments, and I believe the academy refused to consider it for an Oscar on these grounds.

Reenactments are way overused these days and often poorly done, but I feel like this film did it perfectly, they're more subtle, artistic and don't tell you what to think. I'd be curious to see what people here think of their use and whether it should be allowed, and specifically their use in this film.

Also, for the sake of those that haven't heard of or seen this film, maybe refrain from spoilers in the comments? It's a pretty influential film, in that it affected the case directly.
