4/5

Citation is an important window into the gender politics of a culture seemingly very different to our own, but where the nuts-and-bolts sexist dynamics that have oppressed and left women around the world open to abuse remain sadly familiar.

B

"Citation" works best when it hovers in the infuriating skepticism hurled at its young protagonist as she makes her case, and it's unclear whether the system will work in her favor until the final, unnerving act.

3/5

Citation deserves credit for handling a complex and emotive issue with sensitivity. Anchored by powerful performances from Otedola and Jean-Louis, it's a flawed but worthwhile watch.

It has its heart in the right place, but its execution leaves a lot to be desire.

3/5

Citation brings an emotional account of a victim in a crippling world of rape culture by directing an environment that is suppressed and platforms a world of silence.
