      David Stratton The Australian The Inspection succeeds in the end because this powerful real-life character study is firmly rooted in reality. Rated: 3.5/5 May 8, 2023 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It’s Ellis’s story and [Jeremy Pope] keeps you on his side all the way with a performance so direct, intuitive -- and restrained -- that you feel as if he’s letting you in on his every thought. Rated: 4/5 May 4, 2023 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Fiercely candid, in its condemnation of the brutality that is enmeshed in the training programme, and in its celebration of the bonds and brotherhood that grow between fellow cadets. Rated: 4/5 Feb 19, 2023 Full Review Maxance Vincent InSession Film The Inspection remains a must-see. With career-defining performances from Pope, Castillo, and Woodbine, the film is one of the most important of the year, born out of someone's personal trauma for the world to see. Rated: A- Mar 6, 2024 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome As the film progresses, the audience is begging for The Inspection to challenge them on something. Anything. The film doesn’t need to be pro- or anti-military to be successful, but it does need to know what it wants to say. Feb 25, 2024 Full Review Jonathan P. Higgins, Ed.D. INTO More From overcoming the bouts of homonegativity to demanding the respect of both family and peers, French shows us that sometimes you can’t wait for the world to give you the respect you deserve. Rated: 4/4 Aug 8, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Liked the end of movie during and after graduation.
