The performances are solid, including Coogan and especially Garion Dowds as the laconic and mournful defendant. Director Oliver Schmitz gives the film a measured pace, stoking tension as the courtroom drama unfolds. February 2, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The film mostly preaches to the converted, even if it reveals with historical gravity how capital punishment was another way that apartheid severely discriminated against South Africa's black population. February 14, 2016 | Full Review…

Coogan, known as a comic actor, does solid dramatic work and Garion Dowds' accused is living in a palpable living hell. He knows no one can be a shepherd and a butcher and stay sane. August 24, 2018 | Full Review…

There's a powerful movie to be made about the range of lives destroyed by the apartheid system -- both Black and white -- but Shepherds And Butchers isn't it. February 1, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Watching Shepherds and Butchers is a harrowing experience that would sway you if you don't already have any firm opinion about capital punishment. October 28, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
