Just 23 years old and strolling through Southwest London’s Wimbledon Commons park in the middle of summer with her 2-year-old son, Alex, Rachel was attacked, sexually assaulted, and stabbed 49 times in broad daylight, while Alex watched on. Rachel’s half-naked body was later found by a dog walker, with her baby boy — caked in mud and blood — clinging to her body.
View this post on InstagramWhat follows is a swift 96 minutes of deftly handled investigation into the investigation. Directed by Lucy Bowden, the film uses archival footage and interviews to reconstruct both the crime and the aftermath, while also exploring the broader systemic failures that include a failed honey-trap operation within the police investigation. The result is a lightning rod that has viewers both deeply disturbed and outraged.
“Netflix’s latest release, The Murder of Rachel Nickell, does something most of the genre rarely manages. It shines a harsh light on the people who were supposed to deliver justice,” BingeBox wrote on Facebook. “A lot of true-crime documentaries promise to reveal a hidden monster. This one suggests the scariest part wasn’t the murderer, it was watching an entire system convince itself it had the right person, while the real killer was still out there.”
In addition to Bowden’s documentary, Netflix released The Witness, a three-part narrative companion piece starring Jordan Bolger as André and Max Fincham as Alex. Both titles are being praised for their handling of the murder and the stories of all those involved. And currently, both are holding the No. 2 spots on their respective streaming charts.
Toward the end of the documentary, Alex is again given the opportunity to share his story in his own words. Still haunted as an adult, he reflects on the lasting impact of the attack and the conflicting feelings toward his father, offering a poignant perspective on a tragedy that continues to shape his life and has permanently scarred the collective British public.
