The film closely followed the events of the case. It was controversial on its release, and was strongly criticized by media figures such as Sue Lawley of Tonight. Subsequently the film was effectively banned. In 2012, the film was remastered, and resurrected into the British Film Institute Archives and Hall of Fame, as an important British film to rave reviews. John Patterson of The Guardian commented that The Black Panther "emerges as a meticulous, tactful, well made and highly responsible true crime movie".
