Oversold. Just a hype. The plot is all over.

Very personal account of the disparities in French law and magnifying glass on an outsider looking in. Solid film

A fine example of cinematic minimalism. Diops decision to emphasize the drama and ignore the dramatic pays dividends, with simply staged—but startlingly effective—courtroom scenes juxtaposed with a quietly touching relationship that grows between an academic spectator and the mother of the defendant, who is a mother accused of killing her 15-month-old.

This was the second French movie that made it to my U.S. theater and it likely will be the last I see. If this is one of the best French culture has to offer, they need to get out of the business.

Best movie of the year! Well acted! Well directed! In the end you know exactly where to lay the blame.

A powerful, meditative study on generational trauma & systemic racism in Provincial France. Kayije Kagame owns the screen!
