Review of The Oath (2018)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for Crooked Marquee (120) on 29 Oct 2018

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Anne Brodie (132) for What She Said (131) on 21 Oct 2018

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Michael Fairbanks (50) for The Young Folks (1,024) on 21 Oct 2018

Review of The Oath (2018)

By David W (2,010) on 19 Oct 2018

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 19 Oct 2018

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 18 Oct 2018
