Saint Judy Ratings & Reviews
AWFJ.org
Betsy Bozdech
Hanish leads them all in telling a story that, while set several decades ago, feels like it could have been ripped from today's headlines...
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
The film gives us a unique perspective into immigration and the laws surrounding this issue, of particular import today.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
The caliber of the performances elevates the material to such a degree that the film is made compelling, and the struggle of both attorney and client is equal parts gripping and frustrating.
AWFJ.org
Susan Wloszczyna
This one has a couple things extra going for it. First is the presence of Michelle Monaghan, a truly under-rated actress who somehow avoids turning her Judy into a do-gooder bore.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Wade Major
It's a little on the nose, but despite that it has moments and the story... is quite interesting on the merits.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
Director Sean Hanish and writer Dmitry Portnoy both have their values in the right place. What they lack is an elegant dramatization of their ideas without a didactic subtext.
Reel Honest Reviews
Pamela Powell
Monaghan's performance as Wood is clear, strong, and real as she creates a younger yet experienced, but imperfect attorney fighting for what she knows is right.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
While the film occasionally casts Wood in a little too rosy a glow to be quite believable, a lot of uplifted audience members will be ready to nominate her for sainthood as well.

Jackie K. Cooper
Finally a role worthy of Michelle Monaghan's talent. This is the movie you wanted "On the Basis of Sex" to be.
TheWrap
Monica Castillo
Is at its strongest when focusing on the experiences of Judy's clients, and watching the emotional weight on their shoulders slide off as they open up to her.
AWFJ.org
Loren King
The film follows formula but it's a compelling story and Monaghan's solid performance makes Wood a complex and relatable character.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The 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.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[W]hile its message is sincere, it's also a little too broad to make much of an impact.
The Hollywood News
Joey Magidson
The film falls into the trap of needing to show tired problems at home, without ever making it add up to anything. That misstep holds back an otherwise solid story.
Variety
Nick Schager
Wood's achievement deserves to be celebrated. The issue is that Hanish's film never misses an opportunity to make its saga as corny as possible...
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
While the viewer can intuit that Hanish has a strong clear story to tell, the director too often tricks things up with noncredible flashbacks, fatty getting-from-one-place-to-another montages scored to anthemic pop and other extraneous matter.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Monaghan is also a good reason to stick with the effort, giving a full-bodied performance that carries the picture through rough patches of melodrama.
Common Sense Media
Joyce Slaton
Emotionally powerful biopic about crusading attorney.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
Saint Judy is riveting and heartfelt. It is a pertinent film for the times. Judy Wood and Asefa Ashwari's struggle affected the lives of thousands of women.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
The film, directed by Sean Hanish, sometimes turns didactic, but it benefits from the efforts of an exceptional cast; their work deserves to be seen.
