Film Review Witness 1985 February 8, 1985. 4 min read. witness comes billed as a thriller, but it’s so much more than a thriller that i wish they hadn’t even used the word “murder” in the ads. this is, first of all, an electrifying and poignant love story. then it is a movie about the choices we make in life and the choices that other people make for us.
