REVIEWS
"Criminal justice and political ambition bump up against race and class distinction in this intriguingly tangled web... which holds its various hot-button topics in an increasingly claustrophobic grip."
Michael Rechtsheffen | Los Angeles Times
“Elegantly composed, powered by the performers and Belber’s intelligent script .. make for good food for thought."
Beatrice Loayza | New York Time
" ...this film struck me to my core, and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't just want easy answers."
@ydenneka-28073 | IMDb
"...Belber’s film is instead a taut, tight affair, dynamically shot (by Garrette Rose) and densely written."
