Wendy Ide Screen International Jul 8
The film takes as its basis actual witness statements and genuine evidence. But the addition of fictional characters, whose fictional life events are woven into their decision-making processes, muddies the film and undermines the insights into the case.

3/4
Part courtroom drama, part true crime documentary, the unique and innovative ‘Re-Creation’ uses the familiar structure of ’12 Angry Men’ to arrive at novel conclusions. Go to Full Review Tomris Laffly Variety Jun 11
A slickly stunning chamber piece. Jim Sheridan and David Merriman hold a mirror to our humanity in an elegant ’12 Angry Men’ variation. Go to Full Review Begoña Piña Cinemanía (Spain) 13h

Sheridan's film reflects a society rife with prejudice, yet one in which, despite everything, a certain degree of goodness can still be found. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Laura Pérez Fotogramas 1d
3/5
What [Jim Sheridan] does here is fictionalize a trial that never took place in a contemporary and chillingly realistic version of '12 Angry Men' (1957). [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat Oct 4
The film works better as an experiment than it does as a piece of storytelling. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
