Justin Chang The New Yorker Moll’s self-contained feature feels almost too neatly constructed in the way that it brings Stéphanie’s professional tensions into her familial sphere -- a minor flaw that doesn’t make the outcome any less enthralling. Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Ben Croll TheWrap A far from a whodunnit as this genre can get, “Case 137” instead mines greater surprises from the straightforward, relying on well-observed character turns from Stéphanie’s working-class partner, her investigation’s key witness and from her teenaged son. May 19, 2025 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com A study of police violence and corruption that writes itself into a corner and then, brilliantly, forces us to sit there. May 17, 2025 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net Dossier 137 is a procedural of police violence and corruption in modern day Paris that meticulously and effectively breaks down how our systems have failed us. Rated: 4/5 Jun 1, 2025 Full Review Jason Gorber Collider Case 137 is a highly entertaining yet supremely provocative look at the very social, political, and legal complexities that make these specific events of Parisian mass protests that occurred in late 2018 far more universal than they may appear at first. Rated: 8/10 May 26, 2025 Full Review Carlos F. Heredero Caimán Cuadernos de Cine ...formal laziness in exchange for seeing their ideas confirmed.
