      tony h This movie is an absolute gem, with extremely serious issues to present as "food for thought" even as it says, 'Bon appétite!' -Do yourself a great big favour, and watch it, then think about it very carefully. To do otherwise would be a crime deserving immense punishment, you know! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Between the documentary and the movie. Average on both type. I would have put 3 stars if I did not fall asleep. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member More of a documentary than a movie, but still a most enjoyable watch Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Jeffrey Wright makes the film. well shot maybe could have been edited down a little more, but worth watching Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Mr. wright is and awesome Dude, characterizes to the MAX!

      Ben Travers indieWire Can be a tad slow, a touch too simple, and even a little distracted from making a larger, more declarative point about modern incarceration. But by carving its own path through Louis...it's nothing short of original. Rated: B Feb 25, 2019 Full Review John DeFore Hollywood Reporter A strong character study with some behind-the-scenes baggage. Feb 24, 2019 Full Review Peter Hartlaub San Francisco Chronicle An A-plus character study, matched with an actor who is more than up for the challenge. Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Joel Keller Decider Wright's performance in O.G. is one of the more compelling ones we've seen this year, and the film itself lets viewers look at a view of prison life that's as realistic as anything we've seen. Feb 26, 2019 Full Review James Belfield Stuff.co.nz The storyline is powerful and intense, but it's the way the real world seeps through the script and into the plot that makes this such an incredible film. Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Amy Glynn Paste Magazine O.G. is an even-handed film in which the eruptions of violence in prison are not handled in a macho determination to be "edgy" or "gritty" or sensationalistic, and because of that it feels realistic. Rated: 9.0/10 Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
