Best two reviews:
1) The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - What we have with Barry Avrich’s inspiring and eloquent documentary Prosecuting Evil: The Extraordinary World of Ben Ferencz is the American Dream meeting humankind’s nightmare. (Rating: 88) Read Full Review >
2) Original-Cin - A hero from an era when we still had heroes, the diminutive Romanian-born, activist and lawyer fairly burns through the screen with passion born of witnessing the worst that humanity can do. And he still tours the world with the impossible dream of ending inhumanity. (Rating: 83) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
3) The Hollywood Reporter - The story gets engrossing enough that we don't much miss what Avrich doesn't offer. (Rating: 70) Read Full Review >
4) The New York Times - The main interest lies with Ferencz himself, who comes across as thoughtful, principled and engaging in a film that, in keeping with his demeanor, is a modest profile rather than a sprawling portrait. (Rating: 70) Read Full Review >
