Variety
An agile and human version of a Hollywood drama based on real events (...) Fox reminds us why he is such a good actor.
New York Post
It tells a deeply moving story, sometimes unbearably sad (...) The duo composed of Jordan and Foxx proves to have an impressive chemistry to act together.
Indiewire
?Just Mercy? takes a maximalist approach to amplify its message. It may not be groundbreaking cinema ? but as a celebration of what it takes to eke out justice in a broken system, it?s a welcome return to formula
The Guardian
A direct drama without frills that has an undeniable moving effect (...) Its epilogue reminds us that Stevenson's brave and important work is unfortunately not yet over.
The Hollywood Reporter
A sturdy example of this genre, in which persistence and faith lead to the righting of terrible wrongs, it will likely move younger viewers who haven't seen many like it. Those of us who have seen truly exceptional examples (in both feature and documentary form) will be content to admire Stevenson himself, and to enjoy a rich performance by Jamie Foxx as the man he saved from the electric chair
