"Clemency" is a compelling and hard-hitting film that you don't see coming. A dark, poignant and original story with a haunting performance from Alfre Woodard.

In this drama, a warden prepares to execute another inmate and must confront the psychological and emotional demons her job creates.

"Clemency" is not an easy film to watch. It is clear here that writer/director Chinonyne Chukwu wants you to feel as if you're stuck in a prison of the mind with the main character, and she achieves just that. Aldis Hodge delivers another great and profound performance and probably his best up to now. The real deal here is seeing the decline in Alfre Woodard's character and how she deals with her own life outside the prison. This film really hit hard and I'm still thinking about it's impact.
