Conviction Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
For the big screen, it didn't hold up as strong but did manage to hash out a good story led by strong performances regardless.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The movie is a fairly boilerplate affair about the long, hard slog to fight injustice, though, to be fair, most of the personal slog is left out of the drama.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It's a solid if somewhat straightforward story of sacrifice and allegiance.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Tony Goldwyn directed a cast that ranges from the excellent (Minnie Driver as a fellow attorney, Melissa Leo as a crooked cop) to the laughable (Juliette Lewis as a trashy woman whose perjured testimony helps put the brother away).
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
What makes Conviction worth seeing is its depiction of a self-immolating crusader.
Dallas Morning News
Anthony Kaufman
In the hands of Hilary Swank, Sam Rockwell and a strong supporting cast, this earnest film manages to tug a few heartstrings and say something important in the process.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
[Swank] fails to ever really make us care about, let alone buy into, Betty Anne as a human being.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Swank's purity of essence is nicely paired with Rockwell, who is more arch and complicated and would look guilty doing mission work in Mumbai. It's a special quality Rockwell has.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Tony Goldwyn's Conviction tells a great story that deserves a great movie, but settles for a mediocre one.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
It's a noble enterprise, and a remarkable story, but it's not a movie that will set you free.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
The acting certainly elevates the movie -- Minnie Driver, Juliette Lewis and Melissa Leo are also quite good -- but Conviction remains a good movie that should have been better.
Slant Magazine
Simon Abrams
Conviction is the kind of more-bland-than-truly-bad Oscar bait that, to its credit, displays genuine affection for its characters.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Swank is overeager and humorless, and I got tired of looking at her big choppers, but for all that I liked her.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Sam Rockwell gives one of the best performances of the year.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Goldwyn refuses to overplay his hand, refuses to give into pap sentimentality that would drown the emotion oozing from the screen, and as such the film comes to a suitably rousing conclusion that earned my tears honestly.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The quality of the acting is consistently high and Mr. Rockwell's crackling energy goes a long way toward compensating for the film's predominantly earnest tone.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Two-time Best Actress Oscar winner Swank needn't clear any space on her mantel for acknowledgment of her participation in this soapy redneck opus, which really belongs on Lifetime rather than in theaters.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The talents of a number of superb actors are stifled by an airless, by-the-numbers story.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Conviction is an inelegant but compelling mishmash, worth seeing for a terrific female-centric cast...
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Swank continues to show startling skill in fully inhabiting a character, as does Sam Rockwell, who plays her brother, Kenny.
