[I]t's Woodard's movie, and her character's silent anguish rests just below the surface of her stone-faced veneer. It's a powerful performance in a powerful movie. February 10, 2020 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

The real question isn't whether this person or that person will be executed, but whether Bernardine will go to pieces, and yet with a performance like Woodard's at the center, that's all a movie needs. January 23, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's the kind of film that stays with the audience long after the credits roll. Unlike a pretty little gold statuette, that's not something that can fit neatly on (director) Chukwu's mantle but she should cherish it nonetheless. January 22, 2020 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

I hate the amateur quarterbacking I'm about to engage in, but that [Woodard's] performance did not merit an Academy Award nomination is damning. January 17, 2020 | Full Review…

While admittedly spartan in its stylistic approach, Clemency is wrenching in its performances and direction. January 17, 2020 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

'Clemency' is a powerful character study of a woman whose professionalism seamlessly masks her character. We see her dreams; we see her self-destructive after-hours behavior. Yet, we never see her crack on the job. June 26, 2020 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review…
