Critic Reviews of "Shepherds and Butchers"
Toronto StarFebruary 02, 2017The performances are solid, including Coogan and especially Garion Dowds as the laconic and mournful defendant. Director Oliver Schmitz gives the film a measured pace, stoking tension as the courtroom drama unfolds.
Hollywood ReporterFebruary 14, 2016The film mostly preaches to the converted, even if it reveals with historical gravity how capital punishment was another way that apartheid severely discriminated against South Africa's black population.
VarietyFebruary 14, 2016Oliver Schmitz, one of South Africa's essential directors, delivers a mix of emotional acuity and overkill with this death penalty drama.
NOW TorontoFebruary 01, 2017There's a powerful movie to be made about the range of lives destroyed by the apartheid system -- both Black and white -- but Shepherds And Butchers isn't it.
Independent Online (South Africa)October 28, 2016Watching Shepherds and Butchers is a harrowing experience that would sway you if you don't already have any firm opinion about capital punishment.
HeyUGuysFebruary 17, 2016Missed the potential to be more of an emotionally rich experience.
GuardianFebruary 14, 2016Shepherds and Butchers doesn't know which it is: the twisty legal drama that's going to herd us through the issue or the ferocious expose, laying out the quotidian grimness of systemic death.
