Nelson Mandela is a South African lawyer who joins the African National Congress in the 1940s when the law under the Apartheid system's brutal tyranny proves useless for his people. Forced to abandon peaceful protest for armed resistance after the Sharpeville Massacre, Mandela pays the price when he and his comrades are sentenced to life imprisonment for treason while his wife, Winnie, is abused by the authorities herself. Over the decades in chains, Mandela's spirit is unbowed as his struggle goes on in and beyond his captivity to become an international cause. However, as Winnie's determination hardens over the years into a violent ruthlessness, Nelson's own stature rises until he becomes the renowned leader of his movement. That status would be put to the test as his release nears and a way must be found to win a peaceful victory that will leave his country, and all its peoples, unstained.
Leave your thoughts about Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.
| FilmFocusJoe UtichiAn extraordinary man probably deserved better than an ordinary film. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussA little less rhetoric and more natural-sounding dialogue would have been desirable. Then again, the general focus on one of the world's great political struggles is something to be appreciated in its own right. |
| AALBC.comKam WilliamsAn inspirational adaptation of Mandiba's autobiography which more than does justice to the legacy of a triumphant freedom fighter who made many selfless sacrifices on behalf of his people. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenMr. Elba’s towering performance lends “Long Walk to Freedom” a Shakespearean breadth. |
| Schmoes KnowMark EllisJustin Chadwick allows the events to speak for themselves, I only wish I was able to get more in-depth with some of the political arguments and where opinions were changed. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyFilled with plenty of quick montages and jumping from one year and event to the next, the pic ends up coming off as far too superficial and devoid of enough back-story, facts and explanatory material. (Full Content Review for Parents also available) |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderJust another standard biopic consisting of historical re-enactments set to a soaring, manipulative score. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsNelson Mandela gets the Classics Illustrated treatment with this handsome, undemanding biopic. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceRuns through his life at warp speed and still takes two and half hours. |
| New StatesmanRyan GilbeyWhat Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom ends up doing is flattering and sanctifying its subject. Mandela deserves better than kisses and compliments. So does the audience. |
