      Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) Clemency is proof of just how effortlessly [Woodard] can lead a film. Rated: 4/5 Dec 9, 2020 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator A masterwork. Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times Woodard, unshowy and preternaturally still, offers us a stubborn professional being steadily eaten up by her involvement with the glacially slow killing-machine. Rated: 4/5 Jul 20, 2020 Full Review Dave Giannini InSession Film Chukwu and Woodard together certainly do not tell an easily digestible story, but they do tell an absolutely necessary story of our humanity, pressed to its limits. Rated: B+ Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Greg Carlson Vague Visages Chukwu avoids any overt didacticism in her storytelling, even if the mounting pressure on the beleaguered protagonist is delivered with quiet resolve and suffocating dread. Sep 23, 2023 Full Review Dallas King Outtake Mag Alfre Woodard stuns in the harrowing and affecting death row drama... her performance is a masterclass in quietly conveying the slow, steady grounding down of Bernadine’s humanity. Rated: 4/5 Nov 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
