Movie Reviews

Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura Clifford...the film is grounded by Viola Davis's sad, worn turn as a mother bearing a guilt we do not guess trying to remain dedicated to her profession in a school where few care anymore.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Doris ToumarkineWell-done, well-meaning but predictable, by-the-familiar-numbers drama about two working single mothers who go activist to buck the public-school bureaucracy and create a better learning institution for their own and other urban kids.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 9/10 by Louis ProyectA marriage made in hell between bad politics and bad art.
amNewYork - 8/10 by Robert LevinA meat-and-potatoes movie, it's basic, dependable fare that's cooked well and goes down easy.
Beliefnet - 8/10 by Nell MinowWhat should have been a rousing, feel-good, "inspired by a true story" film benefits from strong performances but suffers from a palpably skewed point of view.
Spectrum (St. George, Utah) - 8/10 by Bruce BennettIt's not its anti-union take on the relevant issue, but the shallow treatment, cardboard characters, and overacting that bog down its well-intentioned message.
Bust Magazine - 8/10 by Anna BeanThis film is worth a watch -- and a debate afterwards.
Observer - 8/10 by Rex ReedIt's a film that deserves to be seen, savored, debated and given serious attention.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleFor sure, this is a cause movie - sometimes it even feels that way - in favor of charter schools and against the teachers unions. Still, Won't Back Down is reasonably fair in its approach.
New York Post - 8/10 by Kyle SmithI haven't seen a timelier or more important film this year, and the film's passion for school choice could hardly be more warranted. Along with documentaries such as "The Lottery" and "Waiting for 'Superman,' " the film comes with a background sound of the ice of inertia cracking.
