Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Justice often moves painfully slowly, and so does Justice (Justica), a documentary by Maria Ramos about low-level criminal courts in Brazil that at times might be mistaken for an unedited video feed from a courthouse security camera.
Fresh: Despite its outsize ambitions, Evan Oppenheimer's independent feature is generally low-key and likable, thanks mainly to a talented cast.
Fresh: Already a master of the objective eye, Ramos uses her unobtrusive camera to uncover the frustrations inherent in a vastly imbalanced society where hope is scarce and the future is dim.
Fresh: With its unobtrusive visual style, Justice plays like a near-parody of documentary objectivity, subtly suggesting the malleable nature of 'truth,' both in the courtroom and the movie theater.
Customer Reviews
Great movie about a mixed raced couple's for justice
A white man married to a black woman with mixed kids go through a challenge to fight the injustice of "the system".

First, he's not a white man, he's black. Second this movie is about an attorney who decides to do what he has to do inorder to stop the injustice of the courts towards African American men. I know because I have a cameo in the movie. And it was filmed in Minnesota.
