An unflinching look at how the racial sins of the past flow through the arteries of the present day.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Always in Season" takes on a hefty, important topic, but would benefit from a more balanced approach.
The Hollywood Outsider
Amanda Sink
Always In Season is a documentary that intertwines the story of Lennon Lacy's death and those in other areas of the country to showcase the system racial injustices and the brutality of racial violence.
Film Festival Today
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
There is no good season for murder, but there is always time for repentance. Let Jacqueline Olive show you how.
indieWire
Kate Erbland
Olive's attempts to fold three uniquely wrenching stories into one wide-ranging feature only further highlights how hard it can be to bridge that gap.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A heartbreaking and horrifying exposé of modern racism, but unfocused and poorly edited.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
Gripping and damning.
Common Sense Media
Tara McNamara
Lynching docu is chilling but effective; horrifying images.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The power of Always in Season, which examines three cases of lynching, is that it isn't a history lesson.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
This is a deeply difficult film. Very moving.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
The questionable death of a North Carolina African American teenager is framed in the greater context of the America's not-so-distant lynching past in Jacqueline Olive's rightfully disturbing documentary "Always in Season."
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
"Always in Season" makes a powerful case that the history of lynching in the American South is not just history - that murders still haunt the present-day sites where they occurred, and that such killings can and do happen today.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Although difficult to watch, the film is invaluable in its exploration of lynching as a form of racial terrorism.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico

Midwest Film Journal
Evan Dossey
A stirring and substantial look at the United States' legacy of racial injustice.
Film Inquiry
Hayden Cornmell
For what it does do-raise awareness for a serious injustice and provoke discussion around the subject of our recent history-Always in Season is a hugely effective piece of work, if an uneven one at that.
Film Inquiry
Arlin Golden
Always in Season demonstrates with pain and sensitivity that history is never past.
POV Magazine
Pat Mullen
The result is a film that moves, disturbs, shocks, and enrages, but with mixed results.
