Clemency - Avis

2019 has been filled with films about wrongly incarcerated me (...) but none have gripped me quite like Chukwu’s masterwork.

...this is Woodard’s show, and her Bernadine is mesmerizing as she navigates her life of meting out justice while grappling with the price of it.

...Chukwu’s clean-lined storytelling has an undeniable pull...

Alfre Woodard gives an unforgettably moving performance...

Alfre Woodard quietly dazzles in this superb death row drama.

Brilliant, devastating death-row drama.

...a bleakly effective character study as well as a damning indictment of a barbaric and unjust system.

Woodard's devastating performance in Clemency is quiet and controlled as Bernadine tries to maintain a sense of duty and responsibility, aside from her personal feelings.

...sombre, powerful death row drama.
