David Fear Rolling Stone 1d
The youngster’s performance transcends the “good for a child actor” compliment and goes straight to “phenomenal.” Not even a detour into familiar courtroom dramatics can shake the feeling that you’re watching something brilliant, singular, and astounding.

3.5/4
Gemma Chan co-stars and gives a nuanced performance as Jospehine’s mom. But this is Tatum’s finest few hours on film. He’s never been better. Go to Full Review Liz Shannon Miller Consequence 3d
A-
what Josephine captures is the way that trauma can still be experienced even if a person doesn't fully understand what happened. Go to Full Review Kat Hughes THN 1d
4/5
Josephine is designed to raise awareness and provoke discussion, but does so in a thoughtful, restrained, and naturalistic way, de Araújo resisting the lure of the melodramatic and sensational. Go to Full Review Chase Hutchinson The Inlander (Spokane, WA) 1d
While deeply imperfect, often teetering right on the edge of falling apart, it’s an engrossing, effective work of formal and psychological exploration that looks out at the world through the eyes of a child who witnessed a violent assault. Go to Full Review Jason Adams Pajiba 1d
Despite its at times viscerally upsetting subject matter, this is ultimately nothing more than a decently performed but dated after-school special; a lot of cornball draped in robes way too big for its britches. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
