Leave your thoughts about A Man Named Pearl.
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAssembled without frills or fuss, A Man Named Pearl is as much a portrait of a small Southern town as of an unassuming black folk artist. |
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsA touching bio-pic about a humble soul who encountered racism and responded with love, peace and goodwill towards all people. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonOn a smaller, less-cosmic scale of appreciation, Pearl's uplifting story is a welcome reminder that any pursuit of growth and nurturing will yield unexpectedly wonderful dividends. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteUnlike so many documentaries that exploit stereotypes of Southern ignorance, the people of Bishopville come off as intelligent and articulate, with an acute awareness of their shortcomings in the evolution toward more equitable race relations. |
| Chicago TribuneMaureen M. HartFryar is such pleasant company that the film's weaknesses can be overlooked. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseOne of those hidden treasures of the art house that it's your duty to seek out. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsGlenn WhippPleasant enough dollop of inspiration about 68-year-old Pearl Fryar, who turns his depressed South Carolina hometown into a tourist destination. |
| Film ThreatPhil HallWhile Fryar is a charming man and his work clearly deserves recognition, A Man Called Pearl is an obvious case of building a three-story house on a one-story foundation. Really, can you make a feature-length film about a man who carves unique shapes out of trees, shrubs and bushes? |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoThe 66-year-old African-American, the subject of the inspiring documentary A Man Named Pearl, doesn't have scissors where his hands should be, but he turns trees and bushes into topiary sculptures every bit as amazing as the ones Johnny Depp's character crafts in the Tim Burton film. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitPearl himself is impeccable, but however merited, the film's encomiums cloy, like the short-lived TV program that reported only "good" news items. |
