chatterboxchronicles Review of The Atlanta Child Murders

The Atlanta Child Murders (1985)

Ok movie- It focused too much on the writer's belief in Williams' innocence and not enough on the true child murder victims

[7/10 · 22 December 2019]

I had hoped to see a movie more about the genuine victims and their families. Instead, most of the movie was about the trial where Abby Mann (the writer), clearly thought Wayne Williams was innocent.

While the case wasn't a slam dunk, there was plenty of fiber evidence linking Williams and as of recently, some actual DNA evidence.

That said, the movie did cover most of the case and Morgan Freeman's acting helped to salvage it.
