Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertA powerful and affecting film, so well played by Goldberg and Spacek that we understand not just the politics of the time but the emotions as well.
The Seattle Times - 9/10 by John HartlOne of those rare movie history lessons that don't make you feel as if you're facing the chalkboard. It's an impassioned movie, with vehement, soulful performances from Whoopi Goldberg and Sissy Spacek, but it's also a work of great restraint and proportion. 
Movie Mom - 8/10 by Nell MinowSuffers from too much focus on the white characters, but still an important story, respectfully told.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 8/10 by Jay ScottA respectably stirring film about the rupturing birth of civil rights in the South. Although most of Walk Home heads down this ready-for-prime-time moral path, director Richard Pearce and screenwriter John Cork uncover some interesting dramatic grays along the way. 
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Owen GleibermanBoth actresses are quite fine. The role of Odessa is somewhat underwritten, but Goldberg, playing her as a modest, God-fearing woman, acts with a deep-buried determination. If she’d been allowed to show some of her humor, the character might have soared. Spacek gives a beautifully modulated performance. 
The New York Times - 7/10 by Janet MaslinThe Long Walk Home offers a careful, dispassionate, finally moving evocation of its setting. In attempting to present segregated Southern society matter-of-factly, it avoids shrillness and keeps its potential for preachiness more or less at bay.
IndieWire - 7/10 by William ThomasLike Driving Miss Daisy this deals with a white employer and a black servant in the times of revolution, not only that but in both films it's a jaded view with the servant being loyal and not a 'friend'. Besides that small problem, it's a moving film with a steady performance from Spacek, but by the end it has definitely become Goldberg's film.
Newsweek - 6/10 by David AnsenThe understated passion of The Long Walk Home sneaks up on your emotions.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Peter RainerA blob of good intentions. Good intentions do not a good movie make. 
User Review - 10/10 by Lee Gonce again Whoopi takes on the role of a lifetime she is such an amazing actress and show's here why that is. She goes straight to the heart and makes you feel what it must have been like back in the day
