The sole fresh twist, one that should have been more than enough to drive the show - one friend dedicating his life to exonerating the other - is repeatedly undermined by their unequal presentation. September 9, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Stanfield deftly balances rage and resignation, and Asomugha is impressive as a crusader who refuses to give up. September 7, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

"Crown Heights" is soul-shaking only in the abstract. In execution, it's deathly dull. September 7, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

"Crown Heights" plows forward, steely in its resolve, and forgoes the emotional fireworks in favor of subdued, straightforward storytelling. September 1, 2017 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

The two men's relationship, and others in the film, might have been explored in greater depth, but Ruskin rightly keeps his focus on the judicial system as it fails Warner again and again. August 31, 2017 | Full Review…

Crown Heights is a gripping film that touches audience's hearts but makes them think as well, but it also might be a star-making role for the remarkable Lakeith Stanfield. April 26, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

Crown Heights is underwritten, but Colin Warner's story deserves to be heard and you could do much worse than this earnest and watchable retelling populated with confident performances. March 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Crown Heights was simply an amazing movie to me. It gives you a slightly different perspective of the prison system. I thought it was great to see the effects of what prison life could do an actual innocent person. February 6, 2019 | Rating: 8.5/10 | Full Review…

Crown Heights dismayingly plods to its conclusion, where the weight and intrinsic importance of its material is rendered into a saccharine goop of inconsequence. December 3, 2018 | Full Review…
