In the 1930s, Jesse Owens is a young man who is the first in his family to go to college. Going to Ohio State to train under its track and field coach, Larry Snyder, the young African American athlete quickly impresses with his tremendous potential that suggests Olympic material. However, as Owens struggles both with the obligations of his life and the virulent racism against him, the question of whether America would compete at all at the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany is being debated vigorously. When the American envoy finds a compromise persuasive with the Third Reich to avert a boycott, Owens has his own moral struggle about going. Upon resolving that issue, Owens and his coach travel to Berlin to participate in a competition that would mark Owens as the greatest of America's Olympians even as the German film director, Leni Riefenstahl, locks horns with her country's Propaganda Minister, Josef Goebbels, to film the politically embarrassing fact for posterity.
Leave your thoughts about Race.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThis is a profound saga that makes for a great American movie. |
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsA very inspiring, long overdue tribute to a great patriot and African-American icon. |
| Screen InternationalTim GriersonNeither director Stephen Hopkins nor star Stephan James can bring Owens’ story to passionate life, resulting in a drama that’s well-meaning rather than riveting. |
| Chicago Daily HeraldDann GireAt its core, Race remains a conventional sports biopic, but one beautifully ensconced in period fashions, vehicles and props, crowned with winning performances from James and Sudeikis, all captured by Levy's sharp, zesty camera work. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChristian HolubCredit Race for showcasing its hero’s human flaws, but the movie unfortunately lets him get away with them a little too easily (his grand makeup gesture to Ruth comes off more creepy than romantic). |
| BeliefnetNell MinowRich, compelling drama and a fitting tribute. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamA so-so movie about an extraordinary athlete. |
| Fresno BeeRick BentleyIt presents some horrible truths about mankind with a power and grace. The film's messages are powerful and beautifully conveyed. |
| The Film StageMichael SnydelRace is the rare biopic that needs more of its own main character. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyA wallpaper-thin but sentimentally effective hagiography. |
