A slick account of ancient crevices in the human psyche rendered in cutting-edge cinematic style.
November 20, 2008 | Full Review… -
A manipulative, tearjerking thriller that, functioning as a sustained, anguished primal scream, is as emotionally devastating as any film, fiction or non-, released this year.
November 9, 2008 | Rating: A- | Full Review… -
An undeniably shattering story, if forgivably shaky in its impassioned, therapeutic unfolding.

Sep 11, 2018As a love letter to a friend, father, son and victim of someone's psychopathy and lunacy (as well as a testimony to the resilience of two incredibly stoic grandparents amid a horrible tragedy), this is a beautiful, touching and absolutely devastating documentary like few others.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Sep 30, 2014This is a story about how low humanity can go. The case portrayed is monstrous and the way the Canadian justice handled it is baffling. Still, as a documentary, Dear Zachary is as over the top as it can get, boarding on tabloid sensationalism to cause a strong impact. That fast editing is annoying, though I get it's use to get you through the roller coaster of emotions the director was put through but it was unnecessary. The story itself is gruesome enough. An actual longer running time could've helped this immensely, since there was more to Shirley Turner than we got. All in all a good testimony with the wrong approach.Francisco G Super Reviewer

Jul 10, 2014This documentary broke my heart into a million pieces. Such a touching tribute to a beautiful man and son who tragically lost their lives to such a horrendous woman.Beth M Super Reviewer

May 02, 2014After watching this heart-wrenching documentary, I lost faith in the judicial system, child protective services, law enforcement and humanity in general. This documentary tears at you, and sends you down a dark and twisted rabbit hole. I felt saddened, angry, disgusted and just appalled at how the whole case turned out, and the extreme sadness that the actions of one person can do to a family. I hope that everyone can take something out of this movie.Cynthia S Super Reviewer
