	Author	Review
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"The film sketches an effective, if ultimately somewhat schematic, picture of the legal system’s countless crevasses and sinkholes into which a blameless person can easily be shoved."	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Lakeith Stanfield shines in a messy docudrama that doesn’t do justice"	NEG
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"A soulful performance from Lakeith Stanfield (...) There are some nifty visual touches (...) An undeniably affecting story (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A heartfelt but not very lively account of a true campaign for justice."	NEU
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz rogerebert.com	"A pretty good movie about a great subject (...) The film's climax is powerful nonetheless, and the performances carry the day. Stanfield is a true movie star (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"There’s a powerful tale to be told about an innocent man’s 20-plus years of incarceration, but this isn’t it"	NEG
United States	Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"Lakeith Stanfield’s got soul, but the prison drama ‘Crown Heights’ needs more"	NEU
