	Media	Author	Review
		Robert Daniels rogerebert.com	"Wang, an empathetic and perceptive filmmaker, isn't afraid to capture the intimacy and the tears (...) Vital, gripping, immersive, and profound.[It] is everything a true-crime series should be (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"I was intrigued from the beginning, but by episode three I was convinced it couldn't get any crazier (...) It's a crazy rollercoaster of facts and emotions (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Wang is a sensitive, intuitive, empathetic filmmaker, and we can feel how many in the community come to trust her through the making of the documentary and the production of the play-within-the-movie"
		Joel Keller Decider	"The case of the Beatrice Six is an interesting one, and we’re pretty sure that once 'Mind Over Murder' gets into the details of how the six got arrested, convicted and exonerated, it’ll move better."
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"The first side of the documentary is sometimes repetitive and the second side underserved, but Mind Over Murder remains a provocative thing, defying any kind of simple hero/villain/victim classifications."
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"It challenges us to think more critically about whether heroes actually exist and, perhaps even more importantly, whether the stories we tell about our past should create them anyways."
