Critic Reviews for Equal Standard

All Critics (4) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (2)

"Equal Standard" sadly exhibits a consistent lack of restraint while the story widens its scope and stakes, falling notably short of its well-intentioned ambitions to honor multiple viewpoints amid rising racial tensions.

Tomris Laffly
Variety
Poorly paced and awkwardly written, Equal Standard brings little value to the issue of racism and the law.

Liam Lacey
Original Cin
Relevant themes and Truvillion's stand-out performance rescue this drama from preachy dialogue and oversimplification of the tensions between Black communities and law enforcement.

Sandie Angulo Chen
Common Sense Media
Director Brendan Kyle Cochrane gets a lot out of the New York environments, and goes with a naturalistic approach to the material.
