Leave your thoughts about The Judge.
| New York ObserverRex ReedEqual parts courtroom drama, legal thriller and family saga, it’s also a synchronized duet for two terrific actors at the top of their craft that left me stunned. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottCourt is in session. Terrific acting and a patiently told story equal a most positive verdict. On my list of the year's best. |
| The Virginian-PilotMal VincentThe Judge visits small-town, rural America in such a way that movies hardly ever do anymore. |
| MediaMikesMichael A. SmithFlawlessly directed and skillfully acted, "The Judge" joins last week's "Gone Girl" on this year's short list of worthy Oscar contenders |
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonA good example of talented actors taking mediocre material and making it passable entertainment. |
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsA fanciful, thoroughly-modern variation on the parable of the Prodigal Son! |
| Scroll.inNandini RamnathAt 141 minutes, The Judge cannot avoid resorting to clichés, and they pile up as the movie trundles on. |
| Consequence of SoundBlake GobleThe Judge will say and do anything to win over the jury of public opinion, but look at the facts, and you'll see nothing but pandering. |
| Tolucan TimesTony MedleyFinally Robert Downey gets an intelligent script, a fine director, and the opportunity to act opposite someone like Robert Duvall. It's scintillating to see these two outstanding actors parry with one another, buttressed by a good supporting cast. |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyThe Judge is risible Hollywood dreck, a star vehicle with nothing genuine driving it, and at 142 minutes, it is nearly impossible to defend. |
