Reviews
- "The things that elevate Chiwetel Ejiofor’s film are those that elevated ROB PEACE’s life overall"
- Slant Magazine - "ROB PEACE isn’t the story of an “Ivy League drug dealer”; it’s the story of a human being who deserved way better than what society gave him."
- TheWrap - "All told, the movie delivers a well-earned emotional gut punch that refreshingly does not come from perpetuating the physical and systemic violence it aims to shed light upon."
- The New York Times - "A compelling turn and a fitting tribute to the real Peace, who surely would be doing extraordinary things if he was still alive today."
- Cinema Daily US - "Ejiofor has improved with his second film and this one should go on to have a great life beyond the festival. It deserves to connect with audiences and inspire them to make actual change."
- FirstShowing.net - "Rob Peace is an enrapturing and heartbreaking, with magnetic performances and a lead actor who deserves all the accolades. "
