Movie Reviews

The Seattle Times - 9/10 by John HartlThis moving story neatly avoids melodrama.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Pat GrahamShelley Winters won an Oscar for being her own unbearable self (as Hartman's nagging mother) and Guy Green (The Magus) directed with eyes on the noble Kleenex box and visions of Stanley Kramer running through his noggin.
User Review - 10/10 by Gamzguy17With smart direction, brilliant acting, emotional music score, and conscious writing, "A Patch of Blue" delivers a radical message for the 1960's and it's a message that sadly shouldn't need to be said in the first place.
 This film is an easy wholehearted recommendation.
