SELECTED PRESS
Roger Ebert
“She (Director, Marina Zenovich) has achieved extraordinary access to the other still-living players in the case, and they all seem to be in agreement: Polanski is correct in saying the judge played with him as a cat might play with a mouse.”

“Wanted and Desired also makes loads of important points about the differences between an artist’s life and his work (and between the U.S. and Europe), but such insights seem like mere side dishes when the main course is this succulent..”

TIME OUT NEW YORK
New York Sun
“Ms. Zenovich maps the sordid and infuriating convolutions of criminal justice gone haywire with valedictory resourcefulness. Her use of on-screen transcript excerpts and vintage unedited television news coverage is frankly stunning.”
