Movie Reviews

  • while formulaic on its face, Reinaldo Marcus Green's film resists the sort of obvious cinematic catharsis expected of such a story, resulting in a final product that earns its emotional beats
    Review rate : B+ by Kate Erbland [IndieWire ]
  • the drama is well-intentioned – it may very well expand narrow minds – but is also heavy-handed, manipulative, and thin on character
    2.5 of 4 by Barry Hertz [Globe and Mail ]
  • sincere and emotionally charged; led by a performance that feels grounded in genuine pain and atonement from Mark Wahlberg, the drama is directed with great sensitivity by Reinaldo Marcus Green, working from an empathetic screenplay by Diana Ossana
    by David Rooney [The Hollywood Reporter ]
  • Reinaldo Marcus Green's father-son drama is poignant and intelligent, if not memorable
    3 of 5 by Adam Solomons [HeyUGuys ]
  • Reinaldo Marcus Green's "Good Joe Bell" has its heart in the right place, but the limited gaze the writers and director offer withholds this redemptive tale from being the uplifting critique of homophobia and bullying that it needs to be
    Review rate : C- by Barry Hertz [The Playlist ]
  • Mark Wahlberg affects in moving homophobia drama; There's something disarmingly genuine about the film, a little obvious at times perhaps, but also remarkably unforgiving
    4 of 5 by Benjamin Lee [The Guardian ]
