Juror #2 2024
An engaging and thought-provoking courtroom drama that explores the morality and flaws within our justice system. While its narrative approach certainly encourages audience reflection, the story’s straightforwardness (and overly revealing marketing) took away some of the intrigue it could have otherwise offered. Unsurprisingly, Toni Collette and Nicholas Hoult deliver well-balanced performances, but I felt as though the film underutilizes its otherwise stacked cast. Despite this, Juror #2 remains a very compelling and watchable examination of empathy, guilt, and justice.

Honestly, the only redeeming qualities were Denzel’s political scheming and Paul Mescal’s gloriously Roman looking nose—his side profile was working overtime.
But men between the ages of 18-49 will convince you this is the best film of the year.

This beloved story was handled with such depth and care that it completely reframed the narrative for me, compelling me to see it through a whole new lens.
Cynthia Erivo’s performance was nothing short of breathtaking—her powerhouse vocals brought the house down and earned every bit of praise she’s receiving.…
