Leave your thoughts about Black Nativity.
| AALBC.comKam WilliamsA timeless parable as memorable for its spiritual music as for its moving message about the importance of faith and family. |
| Fresno BeeRick BentleySeeing Black Nativity is like an early Christmas gift. The best thing that to say about this powerful story brought to life by a first-rate cast is hallelujah. |
| New York Amsterdam NewsLapacazo SandovalI'm just going to describe the experience as Lemmons-esque, the result of a fearless and passionate dreamer whose deeper imaginative realms have become recognizable in her work. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Josh TerryEven though Black Nativity feels a little cluttered early on, a strong third act leaves the audience with the clarity of a more satisfying high note (and I mean that literally; a cover of the Stevie Wonder classic "As" plays over the closing credits). |
| BeliefnetNell MinowThe concluding scenes of redemption and reunion are tender and transcendent. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesMary HoulihanLemmons and her cast, aided by some great music, have created an interlude sure to lift the spirit during the holiday season. |
| CraveOnlineWitney SeiboldKasi Lemmon's Black Nativity tries to be many things at once, and it's astonishing how well all of the pieces fall together. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaWhat lingers strongly in the memory and heart is, as it should be, the sweet, celebratory sensation of song. |
| NPRMark JenkinsLike "Eve's Bayou," her best-known movie, Kasi Lemmons' Black Nativity presents a child's view of a troubled family. The latter film is sweeter and slenderer, but that's only to be expected. |
| NOW TorontoRadheyan SimonpillaiThe bare-bones plot, propped up by redundant R&B tunes, hinges on revelations so obvious, you won't need a prophet to call them out. |
