After all those (worthy) documentaries about the West Memphis Three, Atom Egoyan takes a non-documentary approach to telling the story, which has been slowly unravelling over the past twenty years. Reviews weren't terribly nice when the film showed at Toronto, which has been de rigeur for Egoyan of late, as his career has taken some perplexing turns. I wasn't as sold on this before I saw the trailer, despite my love of the Canadian filmmaker, which makes it feel more like an Egoyan film than I had expected it might. I particularly like Paul Sarossy's cinematography. But then, those reviews. Await this next year, probably not around awards season.
