Rob Peace Reviews
TheWrap
Ronda Racha Penrice
"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.
Slant Magazine
Justin Clark
The things that elevate Chiwetel Ejiofor's film are those that elevated Rob Peace's life overall.
RogerEbert.com
Robert Daniels
Ejiofor opts for a syrupy lens, banal dialogue filled with platitudes, and cardboard characters.
indieWire
Ryan Lattanzio
Earnestly told and intelligently acted by [Jay Will] in his first major film role, Rob Peace still suffers from the usual biographical drama cliches, confused cutting, and an often too blunt script.
Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Evokes genuine emotions despite a traditional framework.
Next Best Picture
Ema Sasic
Though it's conventional in its storytelling and tries to fit a lot in, it's a moving portrait of a young man who worked so hard for the ones he loved and who deserved so much better in return.

Alex Billington
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.
Screen Rant
Brittany Witherspoon
Rob Peace takes more emotional hits than it delivers on quality storytelling, resulting in an experience that feels incomplete yet exploitative.
DarkSkyLady Reviews
DarkSkyLady
Rob Peace is an enrapturing and heartbreaking, with magnetic performances and a lead actor who deserves all the accolades.
Keith & the Movies
Keith Garlington
While the film at times plays like a conventional biopic, Ejiofor takes it in a number of compelling directions as Rob's life intersects with issues of race, urban housing, criminal justice, the education system, and more.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
A thoughtful, tragic story anchored by some great performances.
United Press International
Fred Topel
Manages to be equal parts inspiring and tragic. The inspiring parts give hope while the tragic parts themselves inspire empathy.
Above the Line
Edward Douglas
As strong as Rob Peace is as a biopic, it feels somewhat misguided at times, and at times, it just feels kind of staid.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
The driving force of breaking a cycle may not be a new one, but Ejiofor puts a new spin on it when he identifies time and energy as much of a squandered asset as any other, and with "Rob Peace," he certainly can't be accused of wasting it himself.
Punch Drunk Critics
Travis Hopson
Even if Ejiofor's Rob Peace looks at its subject with rose-tinted glasses, there's something to be said about a film that wants to honor and cherish this unique Black soul.
Black Girl Nerds
Catalina Combs
The film does an amazing job of making the point that many BIPOCs can come up against unyielding and tremendously hard barriers that can make it impossible to pursue our passions.

Rachel Wagner
This one is what I would call serviceable but totally unmemorable.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
A pedestrian biopic that's highly accessible to a wide range of audiences. This is an indie film with commercial appeal, even if actor, co-writer, and director Chiwetel Ejiofor's storytelling feels far too familiar.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
A biographical drama about a brilliant real-life African-American youth's rocky road from underprivileged roots to Yale to tragedy...
