Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops Ratings & Reviews
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
Ernie & Joe is a richly human, hopeful documentary.
Decider
Joel Keller
Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops is a perfect example of a "don't judge a book by its cover" kind of documentaries.
Film Festival Today
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops Offers Hope for a Troubled World.
The Victoria Advocate
Joe Friar
In Jennifer McShane's third feature, she turns her focus to the battle against mental health as two SAPD officers, Ernie Stevens and Joe Smarro, incorporate new methods when responding to calls dealing with the mentally ill. Captivating and inspiring.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
Moving in its humanity and forceful in its pragmatism, the documentary feels like essential viewing, especially for decision makers with the power to enact similar initiatives.
New York Times
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
Yet the film... fails to address the implications of the racial relations between the white officers and the black citizens they often police.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Jeanne Kaplan
McShane and her mostly female crew have created a deeply intimate and very persuasive argument for this kind of police reaction nationwide.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
David Kaplan
The thought here is that director Jenifer McShane's surprisingly absorbing movie for HBO Documentary Films is something that should be seen by every police department in the country.
Pajiba
Tori Preston
No story or lecture can replace the power of witnessing this empathy in action, and Ernie & Joe is a moving, important testament to the impact that this unique approach can make on a community.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
...Ernie and Joe shows some of the good guys when it comes to mental health.
Film Threat
Bobby LePire
Hope not just for police officers all over the country but for a better understanding and more humane approach to mental health by society as a whole.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
From very different perspectives, Ernie and Joe are doing the work and walking the walk.
