- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Luce packs in an awful lot of issues – white liberal saviorhood, cultural identity, black assimilation, victimhood, mental illness shaming, sexual assault – in a psychological thriller which invites debate and introspection rather than providing pat answers.
- Karl Delossantos @ Smash Cut Reviews
- Excerpt: Luce is a political thriller, horror, and character study all wrapped up neatly into a tight, twisting family drama that keeps you guessing.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: The buildup in Luce is immaculate, thought provoking, and incredibly performed, which more than makes up for an underwhelming conclusion.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: What’s worse: a movie that never shows any potential to be good in the first place or a feature that begins with an intriguing setup and then squanders that opportunity?
- [New] | MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com

- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Luce is an intelligent, provocative film you’ll absolutely want to see and discuss.
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: [The filmmakers] put a boy on trial with no evidence other than his accusers’ own fears because half-truths and assumptions will always be easier to embrace than simple explanations rendered complex by the inherent bias American entitlement provides as a privilege.
