- Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- [New] | Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Just Mercy has an important story to tell about racism, injustice and the continuing struggle to find equal justice under law. As such, why is the film so dry?
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Cretton delivers his most disappointing work to date, a mediocre, cliché ridden, speechifying tale of the fight to free an innocent black man railroaded by racist Southerners.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: I’ve seen some pretty simplistic dramas in my day but this screenplay underestimates the moral decency of its audience by fashioning a narrative that’s so obvious it’s condescending.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: This true origin story of a literal social-justice warrior is earnest, passionate… and exhausting. We need to keep telling these stories, yet each is but another tiny drop of water in a rough ocean.

- Excerpt: Just Mercy works beautifully as both an examination of a vital issue and as a gripping legal story.
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: Moments of hardship and tragedy do land and [the actors are up to exposing] their characters’ pain, but too often these affecting displays arrive with paint-by-number clarity.
- Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Excerpt: This compelling movie boasts a couple of suspenseful courtroom scenes, but most of the drama relates to hard work and a dedication to making sure equal justice prevails regardless of race or class.
