Leave your thoughts about Sounder.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSounder is a story simply told and universally moving. It is one of the most compassionate and truthful of movies, and there's not a level where it doesn't succeed completely. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelMoving without being mawkish, charming without being coy. |
| Matinee MagazineChuck RudolphA masterwork from director Martin Ritt. Movies are rarely this empathetic. |
| Common Sense MediaNancy Davis KhoAffecting update of the coming-of-age classic. |
| CinemaniaDan JardineThe family's solidarity in the face of intimidating odds -- poverty, racism, injustice -- gives the movie a humanistic, optimistic center. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrPainfully honest, unpretentious, and blessedly simple. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyHonest and touching, Martin Ritt's Oscar-nominated Sounder, a Depression-era saga, does proud the American family and the American family movie genre. |
| Denver PostMichael BoothDirector Martin Ritt soaks us in the heat, the beauty, the racism and the buzzing cicadas of Louisiana. |
| New York TimesRoger GreenspunAnd if Sounder, an intelligent enough movie, avoids all the major pitfalls of its type, it also lacks the excitement that may have come from plumbing greater depths and discovering a few tougher, less accessible insights. |
| User ReviewEvelyn MOutstanding family drama, mature and moving. Exceptional performances. |
