“Smith sweats and groans through an astoundingly visceral performance marked by exhaustion and pain,” remarked The Wrap. The report stated that the actor has convinced viewers with his remarkable presentation and connected spiritual fortitude to freedom.
The Guardian has also called the movie a “somber thriller.” While the Oscar-winning actor is appreciated for bringing all the violence of civil war on screen “with a physical stillness and defiantly steady gaze.” Adding more to the praise, Variety has said that the audience will be sobbing and covering their eyes while watching this slavery saga.
