Just Mercy

“Profoundly moving and, at times, almost unbearably sad.”

Sara Stewart, New York Post · 88

“In the judicious hands of director and co-writer Destin Daniel Cretton, it feels not new exactly, but fresh and urgent and more timely than ever.”

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post · 88

“It’s the actors who make this real-life legal procedural come alive.”

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone · 80

“While displaying the erratic workings of the law and the crucial importance of journalism, the movie’s legal focus narrows its imaginative scope; the drama, though infuriating and moving, sticks to its characters’ surfaces.”

Richard Brody, The New Yorker · 80

“Powerful performances and solid direction elevate the conventional but impassioned fact-based drama Just Mercy.”
