		Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Sad, lurid and darkly transfixing story (...) mesmerizing two-and-a-half-hour documentary"
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The film creates a vivid portrait of a subculture in which Satan is a central figure. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		James Berardinelli ReelViews	"Watching Berlinger and Sinofsky's movie is like witnessing an execution (...) Anyone with an interest in law and order, the American justice system, or the role of the media in trials, should seek it out. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle	"'Paradise Lost' is a most intriguing work: part sociology, part legal study, and pure drama"
		TV Guide	"A harrowing documentary about murder and its awful aftermath in a small Southern town."
