Death in Apartment 603 opens with a detail so maddening you’ll pause to make sure you heard it right.

The documentary is at its best when it lets the people closest to the case speak for themselves. No dramatic reenactments, no cheesy cliffhangers — just the raw, frustrating facts and the human cost of a system that moves too slowly for the vulnerable. It’s a tough watch, but it never feels exploitative.

Death in Apartment 603 is an infuriating, important story that deserves your attention even when it’s not firing on all cylinders. It is the kind of story that will keep you thinking for days. Just be ready to be angry.
