Richard Roeper

May 9, 2024

This is one of the best movies of the year, featuring two of our finest actors at the top of their game. Wright’s lead performance is worthy of major award nominations, as is O’Connor’s supporting work. Read full review

It’s not an unfamiliar story, but Frank Berry’s delicate drama is immensely moving. Read full review

David Rooney

May 10, 2024

This tightly focused character study is a tiny film, with an emotional effect in inverse proportion to its size. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

May 10, 2024

It’s an absorbing drama given sympathy and life by two very high-calibre performers. Read full review

The Playlist Jason Bailey

May 10, 2024

It is a thoughtful and intelligent film, and it finds a gifted actor doing some very tricky things quite well. Read full review

The stakes could not be more intimate and personal here, but as reassured as we might be that something like “due process” and “common sense” will prevail, Wright and O’Connor do a good job of playing people who aren’t so sure, whose faith in people — not the state — to show compassion has its limits.
