What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Hollywood Reporter  More manipulative than it needs to be | 10 |  |
| Die Burger Paul Boekkooi Dit kon beter gewees het | 10 | |
| Cape TimesWell constructed tale | 15 |  |
| The Citizen Bruce Dennill | 10 | |
| Box Office Pete Hammond Conviction is a stirring, unforgettable motion picture experience, a superbly acted and courageous story of one woman who made a difference. It deserves to be seen. | 15 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert | 15 | |
| eye Weekly Dave Morris Had director Tony Goldwyn expended more of the film’s first half examining Waters’ blind faith instead of taking it mostly for granted that the audience would empathize with someone so insufferably driven, a quality neither Swank nor Goldwyn manage to mitigate or even distract from, Conviction might have added up to more than just a series of lucky breaks signifying very little. | 5 |  |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli As disposable entertainment, Conviction can make a case, but nothing in the story or its telling elevates it above that which has already been provided in other, better motion pictures. | 13 |  |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers | 13 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs In the end, it feels like Oscar bait without enough on the hook to draw us in and make us bite unconditionally. | 10 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Less compelling -- and more manipulative -- than it should be, Conviction benefits from its compelling true story and a pair of solid performances from Swank and Rockwell. | 14 | |
