Her messages, encouraging him to end his life in increasingly fervid terms, were at the center of a manslaughter case that threatened not merely Carter’s freedom but the legal precedent.

In the film’s first half, we learn the case against Michelle Carter, a young woman in Massachusetts who had been sending bizarre texts to Conrad Roy, a boyfriend with whom she shared a relationship almost exclusively over her phone.

It’s willing simply to ask interesting questions. This film doesn’t seek to convince you it has all the answers. It amplifies Erin Lee Carr’s status as a young documentarian of unusual achievement, and provides an elegant argument for the true-crime genre as something other than its most heavily-publicized, and worst. It tells a story that will startle the unfamiliar and, too, provide new angles for those who’d already known about the unfortunate pair of young people at its center.

Whether Carter was treated unfairly, the loud and clear message is that these kind of conversations need to take place before the next death that, rightly or wrongly, gets attributed to texting.' References She doesn't advocate for Carter's exoneration or her conviction, but does build out a story that will convince you Carter's strange and (at times) seemingly indefensible acts might just spawn from a cocktail of social exclusion, psychiatric meds, and identity in the era of celebrity and the social web.' Brian Lowry of the CNN wrote, ' I Love You, Now Die might be short on definitive answers for these problems, but it raises all the right questions. Robyn Bahr of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, 'Director Erin Lee Carr deftly layers her story with arguments, reveals and twists that will continuously unearth and rebury your opinion on Carter's culpability, even long after the doc's final moments.'
