      Alissa Wilkinson Vox It’s a tense, sometimes incendiary movie that constantly challenges its audience. You never know who has the upper hand in any conversation, or who is telling the truth. May 21, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) It's a smart and provocative examination of unconscious bias and race in America. Rated: 4/5 Nov 9, 2019 Full Review Ed Potton Times (UK) Adapted by Onah and JC Lee from Lee's play of the same name, it's chilling and provocative, sharply written and sensationally acted by a cast of big-hitters and unknowns. Rated: 4/5 Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Mia McCullough Book & Film Globe The acting in this film is superb all around, with a special shout out to Marsha Stephanie Blake who does a spectacular turn. Rated: 4/5 May 21, 2024 Full Review Dan Scully Phindie Like it or not, this film will start many a conversation, and good ones at that. Luce simply must be seen to be believed. May 21, 2024 Full Review Colin Biggs That Shelf The outstanding cast reacts to verbal barbs like firecrackers going off in the room, carefully building the tension up to a final, shattering conclusion.

      Terri R Thoughtful and well act d Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/28/19 Full Review Daryl S Difficult subject handled really well. One scene was too on the nose but it was held up by a stellar from Octavia Spencer. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/19 Full Review Rhondrea Very well thought of movie...however, the ending was rushed and left you hanging! Would have been a great story if they worked on a better ending! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/10/19 Full Review Ronson The acting was superb and the story engrossing. I really enjoyed the movie tremendously. Just unsure of the ending and would like to hear what others thought it meant. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/04/19 Full Review Randy C A great story and great acting. Octavia Spencer deserves another Oscar for this one. The young man playing Luce was amazing as well. The movie constantly makes you teeter the line of who is telling the truth and who is lying. It was a roller coaster of a ride and it keeps you thinking about race, stereotypes, etc for days after. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/04/19 Full Review ARI Small, Powerful Character-Driven Drama which leads you in a Surprising way! You think its one thing but it goes in a different direction & thats a Good thing! Excellent Performances. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/04/19 Full Review Read all reviews
