One of the most powerful things you'll see this year. Go to Full Review Ashlie D. Stevens Salon.com 11/13/2019
That said, it's a chilling, often intriguing survey of an event that many of us may remember, but in our current political landscape is worth revisiting. This documentary - like history - should be deeply considered despite its imperfections. Go to Full Review Dorothy Rabinowitz Wall Street Journal 11/06/2019
This saga of multiple legal battles, alive with passion and uncertainty, is filled with proofs leading here, twists leading there, until finally there are facts. That journey never loses an iota of its riveting force. Go to Full Review Gabriella Geisinger Digital Spy 11/13/2019
Unfortunately, despite being a difficult but necessary watch, all The Devil Next Door did was leave this almost-question hanging in the last 15 minutes. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 11/13/2019
The Devil Next Door is a good revisiting of a case that has faded from a lot of people's minds. But to those who remember it, or even those who weren't around back then, it'll bring this important case back to life. Go to Full Review Kate Hudson Pajiba 11/08/2019
It was a lot to fit into 5 episodes and could have benefitted with one or two additional eps in order to flesh out more of what was happening around the trial, instead of in it. Despite this, [it] is still worth your time. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Flixster F @RT77094268 08/28/2024 While it's predictable (apparently!), it's interesting to see how far the guy goes to save his skin. Bit of a stretch but watchable. See more Gareth v @geewah 06/23/2023 A thorough and compelling docu-series about a man accused of being a war criminal. While it is rather linear in it's telling of events, it does interview most of the remaining players to give you a good understanding of the power this trial had for it's time, and for the Jewish community. See more 11/11/2021 Wow. What an intense docuseries. The court room scenes had me on the edge of my seat and in tears. Absolutely incredible. See more tom m @RT96790832 09/29/2021 Interesting. It seemed like a well-balanced treatment. See more Per S @RT83737705 04/07/2021 There is only one absolute and certain conclusion to this documentary - extremely long lasting and deeply felt need for revenge can possibly lead to self-deception and blind justice. This is in many senses the stories of post WW2, the US and Israel in a combined nutshell, and about them no one can ever be determined. See more 06/06/2020 Netflix has been selecting some interesting material for their documentary machine and this one will likely create a greater emotional response than most.
