Atom User Reviews
It’s exactly the kind of medicine this country needs right now.
Powerful movie. A great example of God's love.
Metacritic
Through interviews with survivors of the massacre, loved ones and congregants, as well as reporters, politicians and activists, Ivie has made something heartfelt and messy, focused on what’s devotional in testifying about a joy that’s never coming back, and pardoning a malevolence that’s never gone away.
The movie is primarily an act of bearing witness that does not ask to be judged on conventional filmmaking terms.
Director Ivie, one of the co-founders of Arbella Studios, focuses on faith and social justice, and “Emanuel” perhaps best embodies those two tenets without seeming like it’s proselytizing. But the movie is strongest when it just lets its subjects talk with no agenda at hand.
