The storyline is powerful and intense, but it's the way the real world seeps through the script and into the plot that makes this such an incredible film.

Can be a tad slow, a touch too simple, and even a little distracted from making a larger, more declarative point about modern incarceration. But by carving its own path through Louis...it's nothing short of original.

Jeffrey Wright's deep and full bodied performance is worth the ticket price.
February 22, 2019
An A-plus character study, matched with an actor who is more than up for the challenge.

Jeffrey Wright... isn't often cast as a lead in a film, so this performance is a rare gem.

O.G. is an even-handed film in which the eruptions of violence in prison are not handled in a macho determination to be "edgy" or "gritty" or sensationalistic, and because of that it feels realistic.

Wright's performance in O.G. is one of the more compelling ones we've seen this year, and the film itself lets viewers look at a view of prison life that's as realistic as anything we've seen.

O.G. is inevitably no more illuminating than any other narrative dramatization of prison life.
February 24, 2019
A strong character study with some behind-the-scenes baggage.
