| USA TodayMike ClarkHappily, there's nothing to misconstrue about the film: It's fabulous. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickOne of the deepest human films in a long time, one that doesn't back down from baring the human soul and exploring the vastness of its complexities. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliIt's ironic that a film with this title should be among the most vital, alive, and challenging cinema experiences of the year. |
| The Moving Picture ShowJoe LeydonA powerful and provocative film -- not quite a work of art, maybe, but close enough to demand your respectful attention. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinPenn gives an astonishing performance and delivers exactly what Dead Man Walking needs. |
| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeIts objectivity is what makes it so controversial and fascinating. |
