Clemency (2019)
Written & directed by Chinonye Chukwu this film stars Alfre Woodard, Wendell Pierce and Aldis Hodge. A prison warden is troubled by a poorly carried out execution of a death row inmate at her prison.
Anti-capital punishment films are a very well trodden subject matter which this film offers a slightly different take on by covering the subject from the point of view of the prison warden. The real strength of this film is the performance of Alfre Woodard who definitely carries the film. Not that memorable for the subject matter but entirely memorable for the lead performance.
4/5
