Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertApart from its pure entertainment value - this is the best American crime movie in years - it is an important statement about a time and a condition that should not be forgotten. The Academy loves to honor prestigious movies in which long-ago crimes are rectified in far-away places. Here is a nominee with the ink still wet on its pages.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Desson Thomson"Mississippi Burning" speeds down the complicated, painful path of civil rights in search of a good thriller.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Rita KempleyParker, a director of breadth, not depth, never supplies the big answers, but he does powerfully depict the climate of the Confederacy in the "Freedom Summer" of 1964.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Wayne KingFor those who know such places, Mr. Parker, who is English, evokes the texture, the gritty, fly-specked Southernness, the brooding sense of small-town menace, the racial hatred, with considerable accuracy.
Empire - 8/10 by Barry McllhenneyWith remarkable performances, aggressive direction and a cracking pace, this is superb cinema, even if the historical accuracy leaves much to be desired.
The Spectator - 8/10 by Hilary MantelControlled but exciting, visually arresting, charged with powerful images.
Hollywood Report Card - 8/10 by Ross AnthonyWell-acted, compelling, good script. Good message.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Andrea BeachViolence, profanity, lots of tension in Jim Crow crime drama
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevySlick, well-acted thriller that nonetheless distorts the facts and looks at the civil rights movement from a strictly white perspective
San Francisco Chronicle - 6/10 by Judy StoneMississippi Burning is visually splendid. Director Parker and his crew have created a film that is unquestionably watchable. As a history lesson, however, it's laughable.
