This is almost like -

"Dead Man Walking" (1995) or "True Crime" (1999) or even Krzystof Kieslowski's "A Short Film About Killing" (1988) but with a female character/convicted killer facing death sentence and having a lawyer or so decide if it is ultimately worthy or even right in the first place. Do we agree?

OK in some films including not mentioned here they may have ultimately deserved it (or did they?) and didn't have people fighting to save them, but in quite a few of those cases, including ones where the perpetrators were definitely GUILTY, like "A Short Film About Killing" (1988), they had lawyers or someone by their side who ultimately comforted them and did not want them to suffer and die like that and this film is almost like that except in vast majority of them, the perpetrators were men.

Did anyone else get that feeling?

Also, to those of you who have seen the film, do you agree with what was decided at the end? Was it fair to you? Thanks.
