Leave your thoughts about The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
| NewsdayVerne GayA beautiful, moving film, and Oprah (as usual) brings it. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerSo watch the film for a well acted CliffsNotes version of the book - intriguing and thought provoking, but also frustrating. |
| indieWireBen TraversByrne is as solid as ever, and House of Cards favorite Reg E. Cathey stops by to provide additional gravitas, but the cast can't quite make up for the idea that Henrietta Lacks feels like a misplaced movie. |
| TV InsiderMatt RoushEven if it sends you to the book to learn more, The Immortal Life will have done its job. |
| Common Sense MediaDana VillamagnaReal-life tear-jerker shows how lies hurt, truth heals. |
| VarietyMaureen RyanIt's worth seeing in order to witness Oprah Winfrey give one of the best performances of her career. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThe Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is a good movie with a great performance. |
| Film InquiryBrian WalterThe Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks has a vision that is as richly loving as it is clear-eyed about the racist sins that continue to dog us as a culture and a nation. |
| GuardianLucy ManganIf the film pushes Henrietta to the edges, it is at least to make room for a performance from Winfrey that tells us all there is to know about the damage that loss, lies and injustice can do to a child, to an adult, to a family and to a society. |
| AV ClubCaitlin PenzeyMoogThe Immortal Life is too abridged and disorderly to reveal very much. |
