View Details Critic Reviews for The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst Season 1 All Critics (44) | Top Critics (27) | Fresh (42) | Rotten (2) It's the ultimate in reality television... But Andrew Jarecki accomplished even more... He created a new version of true-crime television, exploring an unresolved case in a series centered on interviews with the eccentric, self-destructive prime suspect. Nov 26, 2019 | Full Review… Eric Deggans NPR Top Critic The series marshals the full complement of documentary techniques... to recreate the "life and deaths" of its subject while maintaining a certain cautious detachment. Mar 13, 2015 | Full Review… Matt Brennan indieWire Top Critic To be truly judged, The Jinx has to be watched in its entirety. But the first two episodes earn it the benefit of the doubt. Feb 9, 2015 | Full Review… Tom Conroy Media Life Top Critic The Jinx very much looks like a masterwork of the true crime genre. Its first two chapters establish an iron grip. The final four can't come fast enough. Feb 9, 2015 | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Robert Durst comes off here as smart, which also could be seen as calculating. His résumé suggests he has covered some bad road, and while no one would mistake him for a poor little rich boy based on this film, it's easy to understand how he has survived. Feb 9, 2015 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic The Jinx fascinates. Even though I know there's unlikely to be a real period at the end of this story, I'm curious to see where Jarecki puts the ellipsis. Feb 6, 2015 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic The Jinx literally became transcendent in the final half, with each episode ending in such a compelling and unbelievable fashion. Jun 15, 2018 | Full Review… Columbus Alive Staff Columbus Alive Durst emerges as a slippery, damaged and manipulative figure, and it is hard to tell whether his involvement is driven by a desire to control the story or to surrender to it, to lie or to confess, to be relieved of his fictions or to perpetuate them. Nov 6, 2018 | Full Review… Kate Summerscale London Review of Books ...one of the most jaw-dropping moments in recent television history. Aug 7, 2018 | Full Review… Claire McNear The Ringer The bizarre and immersive premise, paired with Jarecki's deft handling of the material... makes The Jinx a promisingly twisted journey, particularly for those too young to remember the details of the original cases. Jun 15, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Allison Keene Collider If you have any interest in true-crime stories, I'd imagine The Jinx will satisfy your craving sumptuously. If, like me, you're skeptical of the genre, The Jinx might make you rethink the worthiness of it. Me, I'm now a convert. Jun 14, 2018 | Full Review… Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV It features all the tropes of the "true crime" format, but takes it to the next level with an unusually elegant narrative and slick editing, elevating a genre that has, more often than not, been defined by risibly low-budget recreations of real crimes. Sep 13, 2016 | Full Review… Alison de Souza The Straits Times (Singapore) View All Critic Reviews (44) Audience Reviews for The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst: Season 1 Jun 07, 2020 A documentary series of intervention, which definitely finds its place in the documentary history, no matter whether the filmmakers was on purpose or not. A walking-free "murderer", who came to you and asked for an interview, was finally caught again because of his murmurings in the washroom. And the trial has "inevitably" been suspended because of the pandemic... Friedrich L Feb 23, 2020 Mind blowing, the final episode is beyond my immediate comprehension, not because I could not understand it, but because of how it unvails, so dramtically, the truth, after 30 plus years. How a life, played out so publicly, in front of everyones eyes, goes from elusive, full of questions, to epoxsed in one single dramtic moment. Even the director, film crew & interviewer, who warm to the lead, and me as a viewer, can see some truth, but yet we are all left with niggling questions, until that one single deffining moment at the end, when the lead also becomes aware, and when you just know the truth, immediately, so abruptly and leaving the viewer totally aware of how a physcopath functions, ever so deeply. Without a doubt one of the single most dramtic real live exposuer events I have ever witnessed.. this is beyond a scale of 5... Jason D Sep 27, 2019 So good. It grabbed a hold from minute 1 and didnt stop. Had to watch it all! Amazing documentary! Superb job!!!! Rodness G Jul 15, 2019 Awesome documentary... very solid pacing... excellent ending! Judd B Jan 20, 2019 Intense and scary investigation of several murders presumably committed by New York real estate mogul Robert Durst. The last episode, when we clearly see and hear his inadvertent admissions ("I killed them all") gave me some chills. It also shows how money talk, and if you have millions at your bank account, you have much more chances to get away with several murders. Sad. Sep 25, 2018 The ending is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen and elevates the whole series. Nicolas W May 22, 2018 Absolutely unbelievable from beginning to end. The last moments of the final episode will give you chills. Todd L Apr 19, 2018 one of the best crime docudramas out there. The show keeps us involved, swaying this way then that, never becomes preachy or moralistic and the chief character is full of dark, charismatic menace. I was never sure where i was with him. He is plausible, honest, blunt, emotionless, ruthless and vulnerable. The final minute of the final show, is unexpected and haunting. You will never guess, unless you are stupidly sharp, the final reveal. There is one small clue in an earlier episode but i got this retrospectively. Great viewing, and the story has not ended yet; it is likely to run and run in real life and offer some more shockingly truthful circumstances. Clifford E Apr 04, 2018 the first documentary ever that has caught a murder on their own lie. amazing to witness the pathological liar through the episodes with his own lies and then boom! lie exposed at the very last moment. truly remarkable what the team has achieved. Tania B Mar 10, 2018 Thoroughly captivating till the end. liam a See all Audience reviews News & Features 200 Erotic Movies Coming attractions for you 2020's Most Anticipated Movies What and when to watch Video Game Movies Ranked 43 ranked worst to best Best Netflix Series and Shows What to watch right now More News & Features TOP HEADLINES Best Horror Movies of 2020 Ranked – Rotten Tomatoes Fall TV First Look: Find Out What’s Coming – Rotten Tomatoes The Best Peacock Original Shows and Movies – Rotten Tomatoes 20 Movies To Watch If You Loved Inception – Rotten Tomatoes All Upcoming Disney Movies: New Disney Live-Action, Animation, Pixar, Marvel, and More – Rotten Tomatoes The Best Quibi Shows to Stream Now – Rotten Tomatoes The 64 Most Anticipated Movies of 2020 – Rotten Tomatoes Sundance 2020 Movie Scorecard – Rotten Tomatoes More Headlines Go back More trailers
