Movie Reviews

Common Sense Media - 10/10 by Nell MinowClassic John Steinbeck adaptation is still powerful.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Frank S. NugentIn the vast library where the celluloid literature of the screen is stored there is one small, uncrowded shelf devoted to the cinema's masterworks, to those films which by dignity of theme and excellence of treatment seem to be of enduring artistry, seem destined to be recalled not merely at the end of their particular year but whenever great motion pictures are mentioned. To that shelf of screen classics Twentieth Century-Fox yesterday added its version of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath.
MovieMartyr.com - 10/10 by Jeremy HeilmanFord delivers Steinbeck's message intact.
Creative Loafing - 10/10 by Matt BrunsonLike To Kill a Mockingbird, [it's] one of those rare motion pictures that perfectly captures the essence of its source material without compromising it in any way.
Reno Gazette-Journal - 10/10 by Mark RobisonDirector John Ford keeps the action moving while using strikingly poignant images and staying true to the novel's political message.
Movie Metropolis - 10/10 by John J. Puccio...one of the most powerful films Hollywood ever made, and just as moving today as it was all those years ago.
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Chuck BowenToo many films these days trivialize poverty as an ironically, tastelessly over-produced pageant to earn kudos. The Grapes of Wrath is flawed, but it captures that shiver of panic that grips anyone for whom the money for the next meal is unknown. The film remains a vital document of the perversion and torment of the fantasy most commonly known as the American Dream.
Cinema em Cena - 10/10 by Pablo VillaçaJohn Ford transforma a trajetória da família Joad em um poderoso manifesto político que, mais de 60 anos depois, mantém-se tragicamente atual.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonThere is a magnificence to The Grapes of Wrath in the breadth of its ambition, which still makes it the definitive cinematic take on one of America’s most defining epochs.
USA Today - 10/10 by Mike ClarkThe message is boldly displayed, but told with characters of such sympathy and images of such beauty that audiences leave the theater feeling more pity than anger or resolve. It's a message movie, but not a recruiting poster.
