Reviews


91
Entertainment Weekly - Leah Greenblatt
If Tillman ties it all together a little neatly, he’s already served up a message that feels too fresh and important to dismiss — not of hate but of hope, and faith that even if sharing these stories can’t magically fix what’s broken, telling them still matters.
90
Variety - Jessica Kiang
Without compromising the complexity of the issues raised, or condescending to the youth of its protagonists, The Hate U Give strides with absorbing, intelligent certainty through the desperately dangerous, uneven terrain of racially divided America.
83
IndieWire - Kate Erbland
It’s a film that contains multitudes, and only asks for a world willing to do the same.
83
The A.V. Club - Allison Shoemaker
This is a film that’s tense from its earliest moments and tragic shortly thereafter, but never does it feel gratuitously punishing.
80
The Guardian - Gwilym Mumford
This is mass-market entertainment with a radical bent, a loudspeaker blast of a teen movie.
