The strength of THE WITNESS lies in its recognition that the truth is often not just elusive but unattainable.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/4 --
"The Witness" makes an encouraging case for the argument that society is not as apathetic as we fear. But it also reveals a troubling phenomenon: our willingness to accept all that we are told as truth.

Washington Post
Rather than tackle the subject matter from a safe remove, it does so through the eyes of Kitty’s younger brother, Bill, who embarks on a crusade for truth, hoping to make sense of what happened to his sister and why no one tried to save her. -- Grade: B-
A.V. Club
For years, the legend of the 38 witnesses has been held up as an example of apathy and disconnect, but The Witness proves that the fabric of humanity is actually so strong, that our ties can endure for decades after our deaths.

Bust Magazine
THE WITNESS, a remarkably intimate attempt to reach clarity and catharsis in the Genovese saga, is like a fascinating longform magazine article that feels like a physical journey through history and myth. -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly
3.5 stars out of 4 -- For a good part of its running time, it is mainly about what happens when the institutions we entrust to tell our stories fail us.
