Leave your thoughts about Civil Brand.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA compelling, highly charged film that brings a contemporary perspective to classic prison picture elements. |
| Newark Star-LedgerBob CampbellIt's guilty of gross B-movie meltdown, but mitigating circumstances include honest anger and a scattering of vivid scenes. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsGlenn WhippThe movie is every bit as exploitative as the old Roger Corman babes-behind- bars flicks without having nearly as much campy fun. |
| Filmcritic.comBlake FrenchHollywood still doesn?t seem to understand that just because someone can sing doesn't mean they can act. If this film doesn't prove that point, nothing will. |
| VarietyWalter DawkinsFilm explores the abuses rampant in woman's prisons and the powerlessness of the inmates, while telling the uplifting story of one inmate, Frances (LisaRae). |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenAlthough the film loses its way in the late going with a preponderance of melodramatic elements that dilute the more compelling social message, for much of its running time it packs a visceral punch, thanks in large part to a strong cast headed by LisaRaye, N'Bushe Wright and Mos Def. |
| L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyThere are also strong flickers here of a film that might have been. |
| FilmStew.comTodd GilchristWildly uneven, rife with a virtual checklist of human tragedies that build to easy emotional crescendos but fail to engage the audience well enough to evoke any meaning. |
| PremierePeter DebrugeThere's no question that Civil Brand has an ambitious premise, but it feels boxed in by the standard prison-movie formula. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanExploitation shamelessly posing as empowerment, Neema Barnette's self-congratulatory drama about women in prison promises to reveal shocking truths. |
