Movie Reviews

Boston Globe - 9/10 by Ty BurrThe film is at its most quietly powerful, though, when telling the story of a group of African-American high school kids who took their discontent to the highest court in the land.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThe most valuable task of the film is to re-create the historic legal struggles that led to Brown, and to remember heroes who have been almost forgotten by history.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by David SterrittStraightforward and informative, but overlong and repetitious.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin CrustRather than merely chronicling the events leading up to the May 17, 1954, Supreme Court decision that ordered the desegregation of public schools in the U.S., the film explores both its effect and ways in which it has fallen short in creating true equality.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Owen GleibermanSober and honorable, yet it's far from searching.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Michael O'SullivanGets most of its juice from listening to groups of people who were students and activists in segregated Clarendon County, S.C., and Prince Edward County, Va., during the years leading up to the case.
L.A. Weekly - 7/10 by Hazel-Dawn DumpertBy cinematic standards, not exactly scintillating stuff: The mix of archival materials, talking heads and dramatic readings is strictly PBS 101. Filmmaker Peter Gilbert's great achievement lies in his integration of disparate historical threads and voices into one steadily paced, riveting tale.
The A.V. Club - 7/10 by Nathan RabinAt once inspirational and deeply depressing, With All Deliberate Speed, directed by "Hoop Dreams" producer Peter Gilbert, is too candid and forthright about the current state of race relations to allow for the sort of cheery, unambiguous uplift favored by civil-rights documentaries.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by J.R. JonesGilbert would have done well to stick with these witnesses; instead his History Channel-type video presents a dutiful overview of the Brown case.
TV Guide Magazine - 6/10 by Maitland McDonaghThe film's saddest contention is that five decades later American public schools remain economically segregated by economics, which too often produces classrooms whose complexions have changed little since the pre-Brown era.
