Reviews

The Film Stage -
It is impossible to walk away from Just Mercy unmoved. ... Yet Destin Daniel Cretton’s third feature also feels a bit predictable, a bit obvious, and never quite as compelling as one might expect.
|
|
IndieWire -
While the movie runs too long and the message grows thin, it’s a sturdy window into the corruption of the judicial process that can send an innocent black man to death row.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
A straightforward biopic ... The film's edge is somewhat dulled by respect for its subject, who's drawn here as more hero than man.
|
|
Screen Daily -
Although conventional in its approach, the film is a forceful reckoning of a broken legal system.
|
|
TheWrap -
Cretton has made and will make subtler movies, but probably none that will prompt as many mid-screening rounds of applause.
