Critic Reviews for Justice

All Critics (9) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (3)

  • Already a master of the objective eye, Ramos uses her unobtrusive camera to uncover the frustrations inherent in a vastly imbalanced society where hope is scarce and the future is dim.

    Jay Weissberg

    Variety

  • Justice often moves painfully slowly, and so does Justice (Justia), a documentary by Maria Ramos about low-level criminal courts in Brazil that at times might be mistaken for an unedited video feed from a courthouse security camera.

    Neil Genzlinger

    New York Times

  • With its unobtrusive visual style, Justice plays like a near-parody of documentary objectivity, subtly suggesting the malleable nature of 'truth,' both in the courtroom and the movie theater.

    Joshua Land

    Village Voice

  • The film brings to mind the good and bad of two other courtroom documentaries, 10th District Court and Sisters in Law.

    Ed Gonzalez

    Slant Magazine

  • Despite its outsize ambitions, Evan Oppenheimer's independent feature is generally low-key and likable, thanks mainly to a talented cast.

    Dave Kehr

    New York Times

  • Though director Oppenheimer has a nice comedic touch, an achronological structure and distracting vignettes thwart the film's emotional designs.
