Clemency | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Chukwu avoids any overt didacticism in her storytelling, even if the mounting pressure on the beleaguered protagonist is delivered with quiet resolve and suffocating dread.

Alfre Woodard stuns in the harrowing and affecting death row drama... her performance is a masterclass in quietly conveying the slow, steady grounding down of Bernadine’s humanity.

Clemency is a clear singular actor’s showcase, with Alfre Woodard’s first and final scenes and everything in-between reminding us what a sheer force of nature she really is.

Alfre Woodard is such a strength. She’s able to convey so much feeling in a simple stare. And in a movie with this much heavy material, that kind of lead performance is priceless.
