Review of Saint Judy (2018) by Erikchristian — 05 Mar 2019
Saint Judy is the story of Judy Wood and how she changed the interpretation of political asylum in the United States. The film followed Judy as she tried to grant asylum to Afghan refugee Asefa. The human rights message the film projects is profound and overall the plot is very uplifting.
Aside from the story, I really enjoyed the cast, Michelle Monaghan plays Ms. Woods and Common makes an appearance as the opposition in court; both provide excellent performances. The rest of the cast did a good job of bringing realism to the film by giving emotion to their characters.
Director, Sean Hanish, did an excellent job with the flashbacks which serve to reveal depth and complexity in both the characters and the situation. This is a fantastic telling of Ms. Wood's story, led by a talented cast, which makes this an easy movie to recommend.
