Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Jay Will, who plays Rob Peace, is excellent in this. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times The movie takes shape as an uplifting multiplex entertainment. Rated: 3/5 Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Variety In his follow-up to “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind,” Chiwetel Ejiofor makes noticeable improvements as a filmmaker through a real-life story that, while often unfocused, features piercing moments of dramatic and political engagement Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici Loud and Clear Reviews Overall, Rob Peace is a very powerful film that touches on the very real system injustices that are very much present in our everyday lives Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall The dialog and voiceover narration are so on-the-nose that it's impossible to miss the properly important themes here. Still, it's finely played by a terrific cast, and the final sequence finds some hope in a bleak tale. Rated: 3/5 Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Never reaches its potential. Rated: C+ Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
