Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It's a really touching and sad story but it gives you details, that people wasn't aware of, of how that tragic murder happened, i recommend it

The incredibly raw documentary, "The Witness" breaks down the murder of Catherine "Kitty" Genovese. What actually took place the night of March 13th, 1964? Kitty's younger brother, Bill, dives deep into every detail of his sister's tragic murder to find out. Bill uncovers an overwhelming amount of evidence, leaving the credibility of the New York Times front page article on the case in shambles. This film left me filled with emotion as my questions were answered one by one. Kitty's life tragically ended at the hands of a man named Winston Moseley and his actions left Kitty known as the woman left to die by her peers. This documentary changed my point of view from a woman who was left by her peers to a woman who died in the arms of a dear friend. I highly recommend this film to anyone who is willing to watch.

The Witness documents Bill Genovese's attempt to understand the circumstances surrounding the murder of his sister, Kitty Genovese. Those familiar with the murder by Winston Moseley and the subsequent explosion of media coverage were most likely the intended audience. With this documentary, Bill sets out to find the truth about what happened on the night of March 13th, 1964, and the alleged thirty-eight witnesses who did nothing. Before watching this movie, I was aware of the true events as well as the sensationalism that followed, and I expected to see the "urban apathy" angle on the events discussed and refuted which was included. My favorite sections of the film were the parts that were stylistic, gray scale, and animated, and where silhouettes of the witnesses looking down on the first attack voiced their recollections of the events unfolding. I also enjoyed the tense interaction between Bill and Winston Moseley's son in which both sides are victims of circumstance. However, I did not like the reenactment where Bill has a woman scream loudly on the same street where Kitty was attacked. It seemed like a cheap way to evoke an emotional response from the viewers and further played into Bill's obsession with the murder. Overall, I enjoyed this documentary, but I was let down by the seemingly intentional lack of conclusion. I would recommend this to anyone curious about the true events and the aftermath of the murder of Kitty Genovese.

In the documentary The Witness, Bill Genovese is on a mission to find out the truth behind the death of his older sister Kitty Genovese. This film does a great job informing the audience on what had happened that night in 1964. Over 40 years later people all over are still asking the question, what truly did happen that night. Throughout the movie they kept finding facts and facts about that night that no one has ever heard before. From interviewing Kitty's neighbor who held her when she took her last breath, to sitting down and talking with the murderer's son. I think this film is put together perfectly and shows everyone what did indeed happen that night.
