The Witness (I) (2015)
5/10
Interesting and gripping, until the final scenes..

Warning: Spoilers
Remarkable tale and insight into how the media treated the "facts" of the case. And a few revelations came to light about Kitty that portrayed her as a mysterious but loved character.

But what on earth was that ending about? I thought wanting to meet the (clearly delusional) killer was a step too far - it seems his son inherited the whacky delusions as well. But the recreation ventured into obsession, if not a fetish role play. Very bizarre, and hard to see what that proved.

A better director and story editor could have made this so much better. It has all the elements of a great true story. But I think because there was a sense of no real closure, the end was staged to inject some excitement. Bad decision.
