L'assassin de ma fille

I paused "My Daughter's Killer" only once--it is that riveting.

I watched it in its original language and was particularly moved by the (ultimately) international grassroots cooperation responsible for bringing to justice a monster.

Anyone who would judge Mr. Bamberski--such as incredibly offensive review on this site--as being "forever in grief" clearly hasn't suffered the life-altering murder of a loved one. Shame on that reviewer.

Mr. Bamberski himself gives a very ambiguous benediction to his own actions. A few of us will understand exactly what his closing line means. For those few, his confirmation of the road's loneliness to justice is intensely felt.

This is a magnificent documentary.

Great documentary about a father's 30 year quest for justice for his daughter; murdered by her stepfather; a con artist, rapist, and pedophile. The film is well done; it's nicely edited, so therefore not overly long or hard to follow; however, the real reason to watch is the story. Coming from a father, Bamberski is a legend and a hero!

(consider watching with subtitles ON and English audio/dub OFF. At this time, the English voice overlay isn't synched very well)

A short documentary about a rather intense true crime story, which meant a lot of story points were skimmed over, but still the main purpose got across. The story was well presented in a doc standpoint, relevant interviews and use of re-enactments and archival footage.

This is a really good story and I thought it was engaging. Certainly gives the viewer a lot to think about regarding parenting and the lengths parents go to for their children. But...the English voiceover does make this documentary difficult to watch. The native audio and the voiceover do seem to be at the same volume and this makes it sound like people are talking over each other. I was so engaged with the film though that I switched to just English subtitles, that was better but found the subtitles weren't on the screen long enough. So then I muted the film and just read the English subtitles. I was personally satisfied with the outcome.

I can't understand why everyone hasn't rated this 10/10. It's an amazing story of one man's compulsion to get justice - through decades. It is harrowing and touching in equal measure - I certainly found the ending emotional.

The story demonstrates the disregard for fellow human beings that still exists everywhere - not just related to the crime itself but through the justice and political systems and processes.

But it also shows that dogged determination can win through. Many people would have given up. He did not.

Everyone should watch it. You may not 'enjoy' it but I think you'll be moved.
