Saint Judy Reviews
Reel Honest Reviews
Pamela Powell
Monaghan's performance as Wood is clear, strong, and real as she creates a younger yet experienced, but imperfect attorney fighting for what she knows is right.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Despite the faint whiff of sanctimoniousness that occasionally emanates from this well-meaning motion picture, Saint Judy generally holds its own as a solid courtroom drama.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
While the film occasionally casts Wood in a little too rosy a glow to be quite believable, a lot of uplifted audience members will be ready to nominate her for sainthood as well.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
The caliber of the performances elevates the material to such a degree that the film is made compelling, and the struggle of both attorney and client is equal parts gripping and frustrating.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
The film gives us a unique perspective into immigration and the laws surrounding this issue, of particular import today.
AWFJ.org
Nell Minow
This film is itself an important piece of advocacy for women everywhere, and for empathy, too.
TheWrap
Monica Castillo
Is at its strongest when focusing on the experiences of Judy's clients, and watching the emotional weight on their shoulders slide off as they open up to her.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The early glimmers of something soulful and sobering - rooted in investigative details and detention center realities - ultimately give way to the tired mechanics of give-it-all uplift.
Variety
Nick Schager
Wood's achievement deserves to be celebrated. The issue is that Hanish's film never misses an opportunity to make its saga as corny as possible...
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
While the viewer can intuit that Hanish has a strong clear story to tell, the director too often tricks things up with noncredible flashbacks, fatty getting-from-one-place-to-another montages scored to anthemic pop and other extraneous matter.
Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
The film, directed by Sean Hanish, sometimes turns didactic, but it benefits from the efforts of an exceptional cast; their work deserves to be seen.
AWFJ.org
MaryAnn Johanson
It underscores that women's stories are made of the same feel-good, audience-pleasing stuff as men's, and that there's no reason we shouldn't be seeing lots more like this.
AWFJ.org
Betsy Bozdech
Hanish leads them all in telling a story that, while set several decades ago, feels like it could have been ripped from today's headlines...
AWFJ.org
Susan Wloszczyna
This one has a couple things extra going for it. First is the presence of Michelle Monaghan, a truly under-rated actress who somehow avoids turning her Judy into a do-gooder bore.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Wade Major
It's a little on the nose, but despite that it has moments and the story... is quite interesting on the merits.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
Director Sean Hanish and writer Dmitry Portnoy both have their values in the right place. What they lack is an elegant dramatization of their ideas without a didactic subtext.
Film Threat
Tiffany Tchobanian
Saint Judy reminds us what America represents to the world. This timely and inspiring film instills faith in justice and human decency.

Jackie K. Cooper
Finally a role worthy of Michelle Monaghan's talent. This is the movie you wanted "On the Basis of Sex" to be.
Big Apple Reviews
Harvey S. Karten
The movie could have been more powerful but has been turned into slick commercialism with its pop music soundtrack and rah-rah uplift.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This crowd-pleaser suffers from melodramatic embellishments and is too eager to inspire through courtroom histrionics, but at least it shines a worthwhile spotlight on a deserving subject.
