| Diario La Estrella (Fort Worth, TX)Laura HirosExcellent narration and cinematography. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazetteDan Lybarger[Dorian] Davis' commanding performance anchors the film, and he and [Joshua] Wright bear an uncanny resemblance to their real-life counterparts. |
| JunkeeGlenn DunksStraight forward, although doesn't really hit its dramatic stride until its concluding moments... |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonBeautifully photographed, with the weight of abiding horror in its dour sepia tones... |
| Film ThreatAlan NgThe ending reveal is poignant, haunting and real. Films should be judged alone on the final product. My Nephew Emmett is a fantastic film. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonThe writer/director achieves impressively high production values for his short and is clearly a man who knows how to surround himself with additional talent. |
| User ReviewDenise ECompelling telling of night Emmett died. Chilling snapshot of that not so distant time in history |
