I was broadly familiar with this murder, having been aware of it at the time it occurred. I wasn't aware of this documentary but someone mentioned it was on Netflix and worth watching, so I did.
Its an amazing coincidence (or not? - when did he know he would commit a crime, was he leaving easter eggs for the audience - it is weird) that there was a film crew in tow following Madsen right up until the day of the murder.
It was good in the sense that it showed how creepy Madsen was, hiding in plain sight, basically telling people what he was and what he was going to do, and no one noticed. It also showed the impact of his crime on all his interns and collaborators, who had recognised he was eccentric but had trust in him in terms of delivery of their project.
I understand that some of the people in the film were not happy about the final product and some voices and faces may have been changed using AI. I am really confused about that, the woman whose face is supposedly different just looks like she has a soft filter on, so I am not sure if her face is completely different or that slight blurriness is the effect. I'd actually be half tempted to google her to find out what she looks like to understand the nature of the special effect they have used, which probably defeats the object of them altering her appearance.
What was lacking was information about Kim Wall, there was barely anything, not even really proper photos, she is the victim, I would like to know a bit more about her. Also we never saw what the inside of the submarine was like.
Also, though some might not agree, for completion, I would like to know what they think happened on that submarine, a timeline of events, but there was nothing. He clearly just planned to get any female on there and kill them, and he basically told the girl who may have been his intended victim, that he had a plan, I would like to know, what happened. Did he drug her to incapacitate her? I don't know and when it comes to keeping safe from evil, it is useful to understand their methods. The actual event was not much of a feature of this documentary, it was just before and then briefly after and some reporting of the court case.
I feel like this documentary prompts more questions than it answers for a viewer who broadly knew of the murder but doesn't know all the details.

This is a chilling exposé of a sociopath at work. In every frame of this absorbing documentary you cannot help but question the real motives of everything Peter Madsen says and does. Of course, hindsight is a wonderful thing and you really feel empathy for the cast of characters caught up in his web of deceit.
The producers and director do a great job weaving the characters (effectively innocent bystanders) to the main plot. The director also manages to ratchet up the tension as we get nearer and nearer to the already known, but still feared, denouement.
This is a great piece of documentary work by the same producers who gave us the equally absorbing Amanda Knox story.

This documentary is about the people around peter madsen and how they react to the murder. It's very interesting seeing people trying to just figure themselves out about how could I be together with a person who was this awful, but they didn't know. It kind of a awesome documentary on that level.
You can see the intens reaction ,the bargaining the not believing it. I think it's an awesome documentary on that level on a technical level does not really special things happening, but it's just an awesome thing that this documentary was made in the middle of it happening and they didn't even know it was gonna become a murder documentary
Peter Madsen an interesting character because we can't see how he's kind of weird, but it's only in hindsight that it becomes terrifying.
It is on Netflix and it's totally worth a watch.

I have never heard of this before until I watched this documentary. It was very interesting to see how the people who worked with Peter Madsen on building his next project of a rocket-ship that they didn't see the red flags of this cool collected person like Peter Madsen. It kind of give you some clues why would you put a saw on a submarine? Or other tools that I can see. I
I do like the back and forth interviews between the people that knew Peter Madsen leading up to the trial; which I think he should have a death penalty. But I could see almost right off that Peter Madsen seems a little off and makes it wander if he had a rough childhood or was it later on. Who knows. But the guy will not let out anytime soon.
Good documentary.

I thought this was a fabulous documentary. No it wasn't your typical who done it crime documentary but that's the point! This film maker stumbles into a psychopaths world unknowingly, yeah its personal and not only police facts but that's what's so heartbreaking about it all! I can't imagine how Emma watched the rushes back and cut this into a film without losing her mind. Such a wild story and that final shot, sheeshh! I literally feel sick after finishing watching this, I now need to go watch some trash tv so I can sleep tonight. Well done team, a very well made film from a very different perspective.
