The New York Times

Aug 22, 2018

Crime+Punishment advances a thorough critique of American law enforcement not by generalizing or speechifying, but by digging into particular lives and circumstances, allowing affected individuals to speak for themselves.

By A.O. Scott FULL REVIEW

Los Angeles Times

Aug 23, 2018

Crime + Punishment is a quiet documentary but a potent one. Though its approach is low key, its passion, drama and concern for exposing wrongdoing is unmistakable.

By Kenneth Turan FULL REVIEW

Aug 22, 2018

Crime + Punishment is essential viewing for anyone with a suspicion that there’s corruption in law enforcement.

By Tricia Olszewski FULL REVIEW

Aug 24, 2018

Considering this particular environment is being replicated by other law enforcement departments, Maing’s film becomes crucial to the discussion on quotas and the toll they take on the populace and the police.

By Odie Henderson FULL REVIEW

Aug 21, 2018

Crime + Punishment isn’t without hope, but it anchors that hope to the unflattering realities of American policing.

By Andrew Crump FULL REVIEW

Washington Post

Aug 21, 2018

For the most part, the film balances its outrage with objectivity.

By Michael O'Sullivan FULL REVIEW

Film Journal International

Aug 23, 2018

The whistleblowers of the NYPD 12 definitely deserve a comprehensive chronicle of their struggle for justice, as their struggle affects so many. Crime + Punishment speaks well on their behalf, but not emphatically enough to close the case.
