Other critics seem to agree with the above assessments, as The Burial holds a 92% Fresh rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics as of this writing. This sounds like a great option for fans of the ‘90s legal dramas, as well as those who want to see Jamie Foxx put on yet another stellar performance this year. Still, Oscar winners Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones are as great as you’d expect them to be, while Jurnee Smollet and Mamoudou Athie are equally impressive. There is a never a moment when The Burial underplays its hand, and there are times when the story veers far away from the main battle, as when there’s a shocking courtroom revelation about the grandfather of one of the main characters - a revelation that has absolutely nothing, zero, to do with the case.

As he wrote:įrom the moment you see Gary preaching the good word in front of a congregation on a bright Sunday morning, you can tell that Foxx is going to have fun with this part. David Fear of Rolling Stone says there may not be a role better suited to Foxx’s talent, and The Burial is a must-see opportunity to watch the actor in his element.
