	Media	Author	Review
		William Bibbiani The Wrap	"A full experience, exceptional in its craft, with performances that cannot be dismissed or be forgotten"
		Jourdain Searles IndieWire	"Like many first features, there's a sense that we could see and know more about these characters (...) Subtle and poetic, Titus Kaphar crafts his story with a soft hand"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Andre Holland brings immense feeling to his role as an artist haunted by childhood trauma, and writer-director Titus Kaphar’s semi-autobiographical feature debut is suffused with pain, anger and sorrow"
		Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"A harmonious match of actor and director (...) 'Exhibiting Forgiveness' is preoccupied by questions of love and attachment, and there's pleasure in witnessing Kaphar's exploration"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"André Holland powers moving father-son drama (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Patrice Witherspoon Screen Rant	"Harrowing drama (...) Kaphar's feature debut is the type of transcendent experience that could make you confront your own demons and familial traumas (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Ross McIndoe Slant	"A powerful portrait of an artist haunted by the past (...) For all its thematic heft, and to its benefit, 'Exhibiting Forgiveness' moves lightly (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Chris Bumbray JoBlo	"Holland has long been underrated as an actor, and this is a powerhouse showcase for him"
