O Assassino da Minha Filha

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.

First, let's address the elephant in the room that several reviewers called attention to: Voice-overs. They found them difficult to understand. I did not. Maybe it's because I watch so many programs that are subtitled and some dubbed, so I am used to it.

This documentary was not the smoothest, but it was heart wrenching. A great "who done it" in that everyone denied involvement and yet a child was dead - and in a physician's home, no less.

And we've all been conditioned to trust our doctor.

There are several heroes in this. And they paid for it, gladly.

The last minute is an absolute tear jerker! OMG! Tore me apart! And made me wish that I had a dad like him!

All I want to say is Mr Bamberski , you are a "IDEAL FATHER". Parents everywhere should learn from you. It is our duty as a parent to protect our kids from harm, and to punish the aggressor if they cause them harm. You did a fantastic job of it.

You kept fighting till the justice was served. I bow down to you. RESPECT

Shame on human beings like Dieter Krombach. Are they humans even ?? Why did he not receive a harsh punishment???Why to release criminals like him to harm more women? And I was shocked to see that the mother accepted that it was possible that her daughter had suffered from sunstroke. Nobody should have mother like her.

If you are interested in mystery case watch this documentary. This man and father of the killed Kalinka is very courageous and combatant who fights for justice and not for revenge. Finally sentence has been done. It was nonstop ride and well reconstructed. Watch it.

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.
