Murder on a Sunday Morning

CriticsCritics: 85
AudienceAudience: 8.0

A documentary follows the murder trial of a 15-year-old Black teenager accused of killing a tourist in Jacksonville, Florida. It examines the investigation, courtroom testimony, and defense effort while raising broader questions about police work, fairness, and the justice system.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you value gripping courtroom documentaries and challenging justice-system stories, especially The Staircase or The Thin Blue Line; Not for you if you want a balanced or fast-paced crime film.
