When I die, I want Michael B. Jordan to lower me into my grave so he can let me down one last time.
Eddie @ The CottageDec 24, 2021I paid $11 to see Michael B. Jordan's butt with my mom. Merry Christmas.
JaredDec 12, 2021☆"Dear Jordan: I want you to know that it's alright for boys to cry."☆ The first real misfire of Denzel Washington's brief directing career, the maudlin Hallmark-esque A Journal for Jordan wastes its Pulitzer Prize-winning author's material on a corny and melodramatic…

Can Michael B Jordan become my daddy please
MarquisNov 15, 2022Don’t ask me why this one has been on my ‘watch list’ since its release…apparently I’m a glutton for sob stories. Hell, I wasn’t even aware that Denzel Washington directed this until the final credits rolled, though that would have added some merit to its viewing. To be…

Honestly, it’s nowhere near as bad as I was expecting, but that doesn’t mean it’s all that good either. A Journal for Jordan takes a stirring true story and adapts it for the big screen in the most maudlin manner possible, and, as such, its sugary sweet sentimentality can…
zoë rose bryantJan 16, 2022Interesting story overall. Didn’t love the back and forth storytelling at first but it grew on me. For some reason I just don’t love Michael B Jordan, always seems so smug and I’m just not a fan of his films. Slightly on the long side, it does get predictable early on…
CharlieJan 13, 2022Basado en la vida y memoria del soldado Sergeant Charles Monroe King, dirigida por Denzel Washington, drama romántico, aburridisimo la verdad. Michael B. Jordan es top en todo lo que hace, pero esto es como una telenovela... 2 horas con 11 minutos de duración y se hace…

Honest depiction of a military family, their struggles, love for one another, and the beauty between a father and son. So much heart. Oscar worthy performances.
DSDebra SmithThe movie was impactful. Loved the military aspect since I’m retired Army. Showed the dedication & the dad’s desire to leave a legacy to his son in case he wouldn’t be there in person. Advice for his son to show the qualities that a real man has & their importance in life.…

Director Denzel Washington and his stars do their best with this bland, shallow and awkwardly structured film.
Peter Bradshaw

In spite of its trite predictability and overlong running time, it’s clearly a loving tribute with its heart in the right place, but the source material was perhaps treated with so much respect that the portrayal of the relationship fails to generate any heat or emotional intensity.

Certainly among the worst films of the year considering the reputable talent involved, this inspirational drama stains Washington’s directorial filmography.
