The movie builds to a stirring resolution, based on the certainty that hatred, in all its terrible power, will never be as powerful as justice.

Owen Gleiberman, Variety

Just Mercy manages to achieve one of the medium’s loftier goals: actual social change.

Abby Olcese, Slash Film

Jamie Foxx and Michael B Jordan excel in this understated true-life story of US lawyer Bryan Stevenson’s battle to free an Alabama man wrongfully convicted of murder.

Mark Kermode, The Guardian

Just Mercy is a straightforward, no-frills drama that does have an undeniably emotive effect.

Benjamin Lee, The Guardian

It is also an impactful film about a story and an issue that needs to be highlighted now more than ever throughout the world.
