Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertAlexander's performance makes the film possible to watch without unbearable heartbreak, because she is brave and decent in the face of the horror. And the last scene, in which she expresses such small optimism as is still possible, is one of the most powerful movie scenes I've ever seen.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kevin ThomasA gentle, loving, noble, angry and heartrending film.
Vanity Fair - 8/10 by K. Austin CollinsThe charge that this film has the humble patina of a “TV movie”—an insult levied by critics and others at the time—is in fact perfectly apt. It explains the smallness of this production; it isn’t a stretch to say that the lack of crash-bang disaster theatrics might have something to do with the film’s budget. As it happens, Testament is all the better for this smallness. And, for me, all the more devastating.
ToxicUniverse.com - 8/10 by John A. NesbitThe film's emotional impact is draining and long lasting without showing close-ups of the initial blast with evaporating bodies and mass destruction.
Flick Filosopher - 8/10 by MaryAnn JohansonTestament's power comes in all the understatements...
Washington Post - 5/10 by Gary ArnoldA dreadfully earnest but fatally uninspired effort to compress the aftermath of an epic catastrophe, massive nuclear war, into a small-scale family memoir.
Associated Press - 5/10 by Kathy HorakMiss Littman, who directed and was co-producer of Testament, gives its individual scenes a very realistic air, even if the film's overall conception is sometimes strained.
Chicago Reader - 5/10 by Dave KehrFocusing on one family in a small northern California town that seems to have survived an initial attack, Littman quickly loses interest in the logic of the concept (the naturalistic presentation of an unnatural event) and begins pushing the sentimental pornography of death.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UThe most moving film i have ever seen. Be prepared to feel bad for a few hours after watching. Jane Alexander plays the strongest character I have ever seen on film. The message is sad but powerful and never lets you off the hook. One of the most important films of the 2oth century and barely anyone remmebers it
User Review - 10/10 by Jordan TI saw this many times as a kid.. Its a very sad story sticks with you forever!!!
