- TriviaWhistle-Blower Metta de Noo, who spent years trying to prove that Lucia was innocent, was disappointed with the outcome of this movie. In an interview with RTV Oost she stated that the case was way more complex than is shown in the movie. It's striking that in the movie the real life whistle-blowers are replaced with a fictitious young female character who worked at the OM. The 'fictitious young character at the OM' is an amalgam of Metta de Noo (and her brother) and a real-life but never identified OM-staffmember, who called Lucia's lawyer. The call boiled down to: "Your client is in prison. But we were wrong. We made a mistake." Unfortunately, there is only 90 minutes to tell a story - and to tell it in a dramatically satisfying way, so some of the (complex) elements are lost.
- GoofsThe movie takes place in 2001 but when Lucia's colleagues talk to the police about her, a computer monitor clearly shows the Microsoft Windows Aero interface which wasn't available until Windows Vista was released in 2006. The screen, however, looks more like Windows 7 which did not release before 2009.

Featured review
I don't understand why this movie is getting such high ratings.
Most stories based on real facts include some fictitious characters and events. However, in this case, there's more fiction than facts.
The invented young prosecution assistant played by Sallie Harmsen is an absolute fiasco. Her supposed "heroism" is out of touch with reality. In addition, Sallie gives such a wooden performance that it is painful to watch.
It's hard to understand why the creators of this flop omitted the fact that Celia de Berk received solid monetary compensation from the Dutch government.
It's a great real story that resulted in a lost opportunity.
