ANGELIKA’S NOTE

A stunning showcase of actors Robert Downey Jr. (IRON MAN, SHERLOCK HOLMES) and Robert Duvall (THE GODFATHER, APOCALYPSE NOW) directed by David Dobkin (R.I.P.D., EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: THE STORY OF FIRE SAGA), THE JUDGE is a brilliant tale of family, loyalty, and secrecy. The San Francisco Chronicle praises, "The best thing about THE JUDGE is watching Downey and Duvall, as actors, playing off each other. They listen and react and takes lines and moments to places that surprise us and seem to surprise them.”

ANGELIKA’S NOTE
SYNOPSIS

"For the most part, it finds a way to make both formulas work in its favour. It respects the laws, but it's not encumbered by them."

Daily Telegarph (UK)

"The best thing about "The Judge" is watching Downey and Duvall, as actors, playing off each other. They listen and react and takes lines and moments to places that surprise us and seem to surprise them."

San Francisco Chronicle

"A rich, thoughtful, beautifully structured film, with moments of humor that are among the funniest you will see this year."
