Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Gene SiskelTo miss this film is to cheat yourself and your family of a memorable moviegoing experience.
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Christopher NullIt is unquestionably overwrought, but it is a truly lovely film with a lot of emotion in it. The meaning of all that emotion is unfortunately still up for grabs.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThe affirmation at the end of the film is so joyous that this is one of the few movies in a long time that inspires tears of happiness, and earns them. The Color Purple is the year's best film.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevySpielberg may not have been the best choice to direct this feminist text, making a clean, neat movie that lacks authenticity, but the movie has many touching moments and the entire female ensemble is good, particularly Whoopi Goldberg in the second half
The New York Review of Books - 8/10 by Darryl PinckneySpielberg's strategy was to broaden Walker's cunning simplifications, and in blowing up her plot, Spielberg not only makes its flaws more visible, he also uncovers, beneath the feminist rhetoric, the melodrama at its heart.
Movie Metropolis - 8/10 by John J. Puccio...we can forgive Spielberg his indulgences when the outcome is so profoundly moving.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Angie ErrigoUnashamedly emotional, it either totally grabs you or leaves you cold.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Janet MaslinSome parts of it are rapturous and stirring, others hugely improbable, and the film moves unpredictably from one mode to another. From another director, this might be fatally confusing, but Mr. Spielberg's showmanship is still with him. Although the combination of his sensibilities and Miss Walker's amounts to a colossal mismatch, Mr. Spielberg's ''Color Purple'' manages to have momentum, warmth and staying power all the same.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 6/10 by Jay ScottThis time out, Spielberg has chosen to put an antic disposition on, and with the single exception of casting, his almost every decision has been disastrous. He has prettified or coarsened; he has made comic scenes broadly slapstick and tiptoed over the story's crucial relationship. The result, alas, is the film purpled.
User Review - 10/10 by Richie S"you told harpo to beat me"....i loved it
