Movie Reviews

Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 10/10 by Bob BloomStandout performances by Tandy and Freeman, plus strong support from Dan Aykroyd. It's quaint and comfortable.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Scott WeinbergSweet and delicate, but c'mon ... it's no classic.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertDriving Miss Daisy is a film of great love and patience, telling a story that takes 25 years to unfold, exploring its characters as few films take the time to do.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 10/10 by Chris HicksLed by riveting performances from Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy, this Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy-drama is utterly enthralling, though also quite spare and intimate.
Netflix - 10/10 by James RocchiFreeman and Tandy are superb, assured, and fully involved with this material and each other; the ending of this film quite literally brings tears to my eyes with its compassion and humanity.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumThe movie also has something legitimate and instructive to say about the subtlety and intricacy of everyday race relations in the south during the period covered (roughly 1948 to '73).
Tulsa World - 10/10 by Dennis KingIt's a story about interior lives and the gradual changes that love and respect can bring about. That's rare in today's movies, and it's something to be treasured.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Jay CarrBeresford is able to move us, one small step at a time, into the hearts of his characters. He never steps wrong on his way to a luminous final scene in which we are invited to regard one of the most privileged mysteries of life, the moment when two people allow each other to see inside.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Jay BoyarBruce Beresford's sensitive direction complements Alfred Uhry's skillful adapation of his Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Henry SheehanThe fitful development of the script aside, the movie is dominated entirely by Freeman and Tandy, who manage to retain individual star-quality while acknowledging the other's presence.
