Wtf...that was my first thought when I saw the journalist describing the scenario like it was book of fiction or something. Even if he was satisfied with getting the scoop...a normal (emotional) person wouldn't laugh and in the same time describe it like a perfect "media-story". He seems to be an awful human being...!...and a bad journalist admitting he wrote articles in the case without doing any background check...just like many others do in social media today. A young girl died and that laugh, that was the most disturbing in this documentary!It was good that the chaos at the crime scene was recorded, that was enough to realize how non-professional the police was. And the the evidence they found after 48 day...wtf again...really!?!A good example of bad police work and how awful media can be...shame on both police and media!

First of all, to those who say it is disrespectful to the victim, you might be right. Then again you could say that about all true crime documentaries. The ultimate verdict on this depends on whether you think she is guilty or innocent. If she is guilty it would be celebrating a psychopath, If she is innocent her name deserves to be cleared and this documentary can help with that. I read up on the case before I watched this and I made up my mind. I think she is innocent. There was no DNA evidence from either of them found in the room of the murder, on the murder weapon or on the victim's body. Guede had every reason to lie if blaming them could exonerate him or spreading guilt could reduce his sentence. Innocent people don't tend to leave the country the next day.There is no way her or her boyfriend could have been involved with her rape and murder without leaving some DNA evidence. With no other suspects in sight the police pressed her and her boyfriend as much as they possibly could. Whenever there is a tragedy the longer it takes for the police to arrest someone, the worse it looks. Her and her boyfriend were easy targets. She was young, in a foreign country being screamed at by police for days at a time. If the police make it seem like your options are 5 years for a crime you know you didn't commit or 50 years for a crime you know you didn't commit, who wouldn't eventually crack and tell them what they wanted to hear? Even if you were to believe she was a psychopath, she clearly isn't stupid. I think she could come up with a better plan than 'lets taunt her, get some guy we barely know to rape and kill her in our own house, let him escape to Germany while we stay here and call the police without covering any of it up' Honestly, I think the Italian police got scared and didn't want to look stupid so they did everything they could to make it look like they were right all along. Instead of admit they made a mistake and had rushed to judgement. I think this girl was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and the Italian police and world media have ruined her life. The fact that she looks like a movie star could be the very reason this happened to her. A beautiful girl is a deadly murderer makes for a better story than, was accused of a murder she didn't commit because the Italian police are idiots.On the whole, this may be a bit insensitive to the victim (like all true crime), but, if you read up on the case she is clearly innocent.

American exchange student Amanda Knox is convicted and eventually acquitted for the 2007 death of another student in Italy.Although I did not follow the story at the time, and have not really followed it since then, I still felt this documentary was a bit unnecessary. Despite not reading any books or watching any documentaries, I still knew the general case and the flaws in the evidence and that sort of thing. So this did not add much in that regard, and anyone who did follow the case will learn nothing.One thing I liked about this film, though, and why I still give it a positive rating, is its exploration of the media. One of the main interview subjects is a journalist who covered the story. He is an interesting character. While he is correct in saying this was not a "trial by media" (the case ultimately comes down to the prosecution defense and jury) he does seem to shrug off some of the more disturbing aspects of his role -- the diary leak, for example. And the inability of the media to just let Knox have a normal day once in a while.Generally speaking the film leans pro-Knox, but in fairness I think the evidence leans pro-Knox. Although again I did not follow the case that closely, if the DNA evidence was thrown out, there really is nothing connecting her to the murder. So if we believe in "reasonable doubt", she never should have been indicted and prosecuted in the first place.

There's nothing I love more than learning about a new murder-mystery. There are certain cases that I have spent days reading about and trying to reach my own conclusion on. Some are undoubtedly more interesting than others. I knew very little about the 'Amanda Knox' story going into this documentary, so it was very interesting to learn all the facts and come to my own conclusion. It's a classic murder-mystery in the sense that there are things that don't make sense on both sides of the ledger. Both guilty and not guilty could easily be argued by anyone who knew enough about the case. If I had to lean in a direction by the end of the documentary I would have said not guilty, but I'm far from 100% certain on that. Anyone that lies in their statements to police is very hard to ever fully accept as innocent in my opinion.'Amanda Knox' does a good job of keeping things simple and easy to follow, but a flaw it has is occasionally leaving out information that would be great to know. There were times when things were brought up, like the detective saying the break-in was clearly staged, and then were never touched on again. No reason is given why it was clearly staged, just that it was. This is very annoying when you're trying to come to your own conclusion on things.There were some interesting, and at time deplorable, people featured in the interviews. Both the detective and the journalist said some bizarre and extremely arrogant things at times. This isn't a mark against the documentary in any way, they can't control how people come across, it's simply an interesting fact.I found this a fascinating documentary about an extremely interesting case. I'm glad I watched this and became familiar with it so I can now continue to look into the case and fine tune my opinion. There are far worse ways you could spend 90 minutes than watching 'Amanda Knox'.
