“A titanic statement by a major American voice.”

Joe McGovern | ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“Crucial and stirring.”

Owen Gleiberman | VARIETY

“A must-see.”

Todd McCarthy | THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“Smart and powerful. As put together by DuVernay’s longtime editor, Spencer Averick, everything in ‘13TH’ illuminates what is convincingly presented as a sad and tragic story that we are still living today.”

Kenneth Turan | LOS ANGELES TIMES

“DuVernay creates a cogent, compelling argument in ‘13TH,’ which balances attractively filmed talking-head interviews with alternately heartbreaking and infuriating archival footage.”

Ann Hornaday | THE WASHINGTON POST

“Incendiary, indelible and indispensable.”

Peter Travers | ROLLING STONE

“One of the best movies of the year.”

Ty Burr | THE BOSTON GLOBE

“’13TH' is probably the most important film you’ll ever see. DuVernay’s film is downright incredible.”

Clayton Davis | AWARDS CIRCUIT
