	Author	Review
United States	Tomris Laffly rogerebert.com	"While the handsomely produced slow-burn (...) attempts to examine timely and ever-relevant themes (...) it fails to rise above certain clichés, dulled further by stiff performances (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
Canada	Thomas Wishloff In The Seats	"The film is solid. I have no real complaints (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"Conventional storytelling and clunky acting (...) This world of moral greys and justifications feels undeveloped and fails to come to life successfully (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Simran Hans The Guardian	"There’s a lot of dense plot and legal jargon to compress, but punchy editing ensures the film remains fast-paced and light on its feet (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
