92% All Critics / 96% Top Critics! “Clemency mines serious social issues for gripping drama, brought to life by an outstanding cast led by Alfre Woodard.” (Rotten Tomatoes)

4/4 Stars! “Alfre Woodard gives the performance of the year in Chinonye Chukwu’s unforgettable Clemency…This is a film with an unforgettable story and performances that will edge into your DNA” (Globe & Mail)

4/4 Stars! “Though it deservedly earned the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, this picture appears to have evaporated from voters’ memories, which is a crime since its leading lady, Alfre Woodard, is more deserving of Oscar contention than the majority of nominees selected…This is screen acting of a very rare sort…a vital emotional powerhouse sorely deserving of being seen.” (RogerEbert.com)
