Carla Hay Culture Mix 6d
The documentary Murder in Monaco will make viewers' heads spin with how it explores different theories of who caused the 1999 death of billionaire Edmond Safra. The movie has compelling interviews with flamboyant personalities. Go to Full Review
John Serba Decider Dec 17
Murder in Monaco is sensationalist, journalistically sloppy junk that needlessly muddies the waters of truth and futzes with timelines for the sake of its own dramatic reveals. Go to Full Review
Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror Dec 17
4/5
...wild and full of conspiracy and extravagant, eccentric characters. One more extreme than the former. Also, it has so many twists and turns, it’s perfect for anyone who enjoyed The Jinx or Tiger King. Go to Full Review

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 19h Murder in Monaco on Netflix is a documentary series that explores a high-profile murder case with ambition and creativity. It provides context, interviews, and detailed accounts, giving viewers a clear understanding of the events and the people involved. The director succeeds in presenting the material in an organized way, creating a factual narrative that educates while attempting to engage. However, the series struggles with pacing, and some segments feel flat or underdeveloped, making it difficult to remain fully absorbed. At times, the storytelling lacks dramatic tension, which diminishes the potential emotional impact. Despite these flaws, the documentary is credible and informative, offering valuable insights into the case. While it doesn’t fully captivate or reach the level of more gripping true-crime documentaries, it still provides a solid overview. Overall, Murder in Monaco is worthwhile for viewers interested in crime stories, though it is uneven in execution. See more Christian C. @filmhobbyist89 2d Hard to know where to start. (1) the primary sources are all totally unreliable witnesses interested in their own publicity / exoneration / self-aggrandizement or other massively questionable motivations (2) Lady Colin Campbell is offered up as an apparently credible, apparently aristocratic observer. One need only take 5 minutes to read her Wikipedia page, her rap sheet of appearances on E list celebrity reality TV, her bibliography of unsolicited and spurious Royal biographies and of herself and of her family, her TV defense of Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein (also unsolicited). And and etc etc (3) the Reddit page does a fairly strong job at calling out the remarkably tenuous storyline of this entire sordid affair. All participants are extremely questionable people in all respects. Safras, journalists, witnesses, staff, Monaco police / judiciary Frankly the most surprising participant is Bill Browder who makes it quite apparent by his participation that he is of questionable judgment himself… See more Tara K @TaraK465 3d Is this an award-winning documentary? No. Is it tight and objective? Absolutely not. Is it fun to watch? Absolutely. I’ve never laughed during any documentary, but the editor did a good job of wringing out every last bit of the absurd it could and made it a story almost worthy of Knives Out-level entertainment. I honestly felt bad for the documentarian by the end, but I think he made the best of a problematic situation. See more Alioune N @bomaye 3d What the hell did I just watch? Incomprehensible. The story itself is very intriguing and I had never heard of it before. The problem is that the whole documentary is confusing. You're sitting there trying to understand what really happened and you never get an answer. Watching this documentary leaves you more confused than ever as to what really happened. I can't believe this was released by Netflix. It could have been so much better. This is the first time I write a review for a film/show/series and I couldn't help myself to do it because I'm so confused. This is half-assed work. See more Diane R. @Thickie 4d Lots going on in the movie. It was like a train wreck but I hung in there until the end. See more Andrew J @AnJennings 6d I found myself sitting at the edge of my seat from the start. Gripping storytelling that left me certain the tale is not over. 11/10 See more Read all reviews
