Matt Roush

Matt Roush says...

First an acclaimed true-crime docuseries, then a docudrama that includes the documentary as a plot point, all leading to the final chapter, where lawyer David (Michael Stuhlbarg) argues for a retrial in 2011 as the Peterson family rallies around Michael (Colin Firth). Six years later, Michael faces another hearing where more answers to this puzzling case could be addressed.
