I thing the point of this article is no, that's not wrong. The story was clearly based on Amanda Knox, and making this movie perpetuates the harm that has been done to her. This isn't an exercise of creative freedom, it's an exploitive cash grab.

Would it be sufficient to change her gender? What if it took place in the nineteenth century, or in a Game of Thrones-esque fantasy universe? Or would it all be for naught as soon as a reporter asked the right interview question?
