Movie Review:

By Nick Squires, Rome

7:00AM GMT 22 Feb 2011

Amanda Knox, the American student accused of stabbing to death Kercher, 21, at the climax of a drugs-fuelled sex game, was variously portrayed as a wide-eyed innocent abroad caught up in events beyond her control or a cold-hearted narcissist and sociopath.

‘Amanda Knox — Murder on Trial in Italy’ does a credible job of navigating a complex case without coming down one way or the other on whether Knox and her then boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, are innocent or guilty.

The made-for-television movie was based on court transcripts and the reports of the British and American journalists who covered the case from the moment that Kercher’s body was discovered in Nov 2007, to the conviction of Knox and Sollecito in Dec 2009.

Knox, played by the American actress Hayden Panettiere, 21, is portrayed as a good-time girl determined to make the most of her year studying in Italy, revelling in the chance to meet men and the fact that hashish and other drugs were openly traded on the steps of Perugia’s medieval cathedral.

The film shows how she and Sollecito, 25, the earnest, good-looking son of a rich doctor, quickly became suspects in the case due to their odd behaviour — kissing and cuddling as investigators examined the crime scene and lying about turning off their mobile phones on the night of the murder.
