4/5
A difficult and, at times, harrowing watch about an important subject, de Araújo’s unflinching eye and great care has a tonal precision the gravity of the events shown warrant. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 1d
There are some images in "Josephine" that are hard to watch, but it also contains some ambitious, graceful, humanist filmmaking, a true merging of storytelling and the visual medium of film. After all, sometimes words aren’t enough. Go to Full Review Adrian Horton Guardian 1d
4/5
There’s a chilling but thankfully restrained horror to Josephine’s inward retreat, as her inchoate anger boils over in increasingly erratic, alarming ways. It’s a feat not possible without Reeves -- a rare natural. Go to Full Review Daniel Howat Next Best Picture 32m
9/10
"Josephine" may be difficult to watch, but it is made with immense care by de Araújo, performed with such empathy by Tatum, Chan, and Reeves, and the emotional payoff at the end is quite profound. Go to Full Review Matt Goldberg Decoding Everything (Substack) 3h
3.5/5
The terrific performances from the three leads make for a powerful drama of parents trying to protect their young daughter from an unspeakable act she witnessed. Go to Full Review Marta Medina Pérez mundoCine 5h
4.5/5
Although Josephine presents itself as a drama, the kind that brings watery eyes and knots in the stomach (…), its technical execution makes it almost feel like a thriller. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
