Reception
John Defore of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that while the script is "uneven", the film is "open-ended enough to acknowledge that the remedies for unacknowledged prejudice are neither easy nor clearly identified."{{cite web |url= https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/doubting-thomas-1246281/|title= ‘Doubting Thomas’: Film Review|last= Defore|first= John|date= 8 October 2019|website= The Hollywood Reporter|publisher= |access-date= 5 January 2023|quote=}}
Bobby LePire of Film Threat gave the film a score of 10/10 and wrote that the "acting is stellar, the writing is honest, and what it says about race, perception, and your true self is sincere."{{cite web |url= https://filmthreat.com/reviews/doubting-thomas/|title= DOUBTING THOMAS|last= LePire|first= Bobby|date= 13 June 2018|website= Film Threat|publisher= |access-date= 5 January 2023|quote=}}
Carlos Aguilar of the Los Angeles Times called the film a "mostly hackneyed lesson on racial biases desperately stumbling to appear provocative."{{cite web |url= https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2019-10-10/doubting-thomas-review-race|title= Review: ‘Doubting Thomas’ takes on racial biases through didactic oversimplification|last= Aguilar|first= Carlos|date= 10 October 2019|website= Los Angeles Times|publisher= |access-date= 5 January 2023|quote=}}
