Leave your thoughts about A Soldier's Story.
| The New YorkerPauline KaelFuller has taken a basic Agatha Christie-type plot and bathed it in social issues; A Soldier's Story is an insightful period drama as well as a totally engaging character study. The picture does become a trifle talky at times, thus betraying its stage origin, but Fuller's words are almost always interesting and powerful and make worthwhile listening. |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordMr. Jewison, filming mainly at Fort Chaffee, Ark., has opened up the play by using such interiors as the bar where the troops hang out and exteriors on and around the base. But perhaps most commendably, he has let Mr. Fuller's drama speak for itself, applying the skills of a film maker to polish the facets that lent such substance to the drama. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyCharles Fuller adapated to the big screen his powerful Pulitzer prize winning play about the murder of a black captain. Directed by Norman Jewison, the movie is well acted but it's too verbose. |
| Washington PostMegan RosenfeldDid this movie have to be so lockstep, so trapped by its mechanical plot, so limited by a murder mystery? What the movie has to say is so pale and limited that, ironically, the most interesting character in the movie is the victim. |
| People MagazinePeter TraversFuller's writing and Caesar's performance, the power of this Soldier's Story is impressive. |
| CinemaniaDan JardineThe film really belongs to Adolph Caesar who excels as a tyrannical, vicious and masochistic army sergeant. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittJewison's lack of interest in developing anything other than his rather debatable ideological point relegates the film to the realm of moderately competent TV drama. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrJewison's lack of interest in developing anything other than his rather debatable ideological point relegates the film to the realm of moderately competent TV drama. |
| User ReviewMonica PAn excellent movie showcasing black talent that would grow to be hot movie stars in the future. |
