      Vernon Young The Hudson Review The film breaks down under a surfeit of exhortations and climaxes. Jan 30, 2024 Full Review Arlene Croce Film Culture Cayatte’s judgments are harsh, unmollified by computed evidence; his script is loaded, yet its critical observations are maintained with strict responsibility to the world of his subject. Mar 28, 2022 Full Review Cassandra (William Connor) Daily Mirror (UK) The film is the case against capital punishment. It is almost unbearable in its force and its wisdom. Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Josephine O'Neill Daily Telegraph (Australia) Are We All Murderers? will entertain nobody, but engross those who can take realist drama.
