Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 95% of 74 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.2/10. The website's consensus reads: "André Holland lays himself bare in a characteristically wonderful performance in this vivid portrait of a family coming to terms with the past." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 82 out of 100, based on 17 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".

The Guardian critic Benjamin Lee described the film as an "emotionally wrenching drama set to resonate with those who have also had to confront the complicated equation of radical forgiveness". Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote " “Exhibiting Forgiveness” sends you out on a note of hope, but it’s not exactly a feel-good movie. It’s a feel-the-reality movie, a drama willing to scald. That’s its quiet power".
