Just Mercy

...the film’s sense of injustice is so strong and colorblind, that any viewer will be challenged to shake off the feeling of “it could’ve been me.”

...I have some admiration for how much “Just Mercy” is willing to interrogate. It’s a lot, and I feel some commendation is in order for bringing these issues up at all.

...Foxx is on awards-worthy form again as the dignified McMillian.

Jamie Foxx (...) is something else: it’s easily one of the performances of his career — arguably only 'Ray' has seen him better.

...Destin Daniel Cretton’s timely legal drama is, for the most part, as admirably understated as its subject.

Ett sevärt drama...
