Critic Reviews for The Pardon

All Critics (3) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (2)

A plodding feature that makes ample use of the legal record as well as evocative Shreveport locations while leaving the well of affecting drama untapped.

August 6, 2015 | Full Review…

Sheri Linden
Los Angeles Times
Jaime King lights up the screen as an empathetic femme fatale in a compelling costume drama painstakingly-recreating events surrounding a real-life murder trial unfolding in Louisiana back in 1940.

August 14, 2015 | Rating: 3/4

Kam Williams
Baret News
Part period drama, part courtroom drama and part sermon, it's a film that never gives itself much of a chance to hit its narrative stride.
