Leave your thoughts about 8 Mile.
| Detroit Free PressTerry LawsonA movie that will satisfy hip-hop and Eminem fans in ways they never expected; even more significantly, it will touch people who thought they hated hip-hop and/or Eminem in ways they would have never expected. |
| Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)Jonathan R. PerryWe've seen these character types before, but through the lens of Curtis Hanson, we suffer, carouse and dream right along with them. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertLike his wizardly lyrics, Eminem's performance and his film have unexpected depth. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversQualifies as a cinematic event by tapping into the roots of Eminem and the fury and feeling that inform his rap. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThe rap sequences are shot and edited with the excitement of a crisply broadcast sporting event, which in a way they are. |
| Good Morning AmericaJoel SiegelThe best review I can give a drama or an actor: When the film ends you still believe the character lives on. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghan8 Mile has an authentic feel that transcends the phenomenon of Eminem; this is a realistic story about a guy trying to use music to escape a dead-end life. |
| The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)Mark Palermo8 Mile stands as a deeply flawed excursion harbouring a couple of deep satisfactions. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenSome movies, a very few, possess the purity of myth, and they don't have to be great to be greatly important. "The Wild One" is an example; "Saturday Night Fever" is another. Now add 8 Mile to that short list. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranThe film is never more real than when Jimmy unloads his anger on someone close to him, a frequent occurrence. Eminem is an actor with a rare gift for rage, and movie careers, even big ones, have been built on less. |
