Leave your thoughts about Saint Judy.
| Film ThreatTiffany TchobanianAlthough the pace lags at times and the narrative is a bit cliched, Saint Judy reminds us what America represents to the world. This timely and inspiring film instills faith in justice and human decency. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliSaint Judy has a serious agenda and, in service of that, it eschews action scenes, thriller elements, and conventional contrivances. It tells a worthwhile story and provides a primer on aspects of immigration law without becoming didactic. |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberIt is Monaghan who keeps the movie on track, capturing Judy’s fire along with her sometimes aggravating tenacity. This honest actress is incapable of idealizing the characters she plays, and her modest, energetic performance makes Saint Judy — which might have been a dry textbook lesson — engaging and moving. |
| TheWrapMonica CastilloIt’s a letdown for a movie that has its heart in the right place to resort to so many clichés. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyWhile the viewer can intuit that Hanish has a strong clear story to tell, the director too often tricks things up. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThe 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. |
| VarietyNick SchagerMonaghan radiates a winning measure of defiant resilience and dignity, even when she and her illustrious co-stars are reduced to mouthpieces for political sentiments (as in Common’s censure of ICE) — which is depressingly often. |
| User ReviewBeccapierceThe cast of Saint Judy is all established and popular actors and actresses. The cast did this movie justice and as well as Judith Wood justice. It is clear that these actors care very much for this movie and the true story behind it. The heart and soul of leading actress, Michelle Monaghan, shines through in her performance as she flawlessly embodies the grace and courage of Judith Wood. In addition, other big names such as, Peter Krause and Alfre Woodward, were excellent in this movie and made the story come to life and have soul. The actors made the audience and myself care about immigration law and its injustices. After this movie, everyone will be googling Judith Wood. |

| User ReviewerikchristianSaint Judy is the story of Judy Wood and how she changed the interpretation of political asylum in the United States. The film followed Judy as she tried to grant asylum to Afghan refugee Asefa. The human rights message the film projects is profound and overall the plot is very uplifting. Aside from the story, I really enjoyed the cast, Michelle Monaghan plays Ms. Woods and Common makes an appearance as the opposition in court; both provide excellent performances. The rest of the cast did a good job of bringing realism to the film by giving emotion to their characters. Director, Sean Hanish, did an excellent job with the flashbacks which serve to reveal depth and complexity in both the characters and the situation. This is a fantastic telling of Ms. Wood's story, led by a talented cast, which makes this an easy movie to recommend. |
