Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer -
A deceptively simple movie with a deeply felt message.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
Washington brings it off with an unforced and well-earned emotional wallop, and whose strong hand, keen eye, sweet spirit and good taste are reflected in almost every scene.

L.A. Weekly -
The film offers an impressive melding of quietly radical images and ideas with, yes, an old-fashioned, crowd-pleasing holiday tearjerker.

ReelViews -
There are a few occasions when Antwone Fisher crosses the line to become too syrupy -- For the most part, however, the production radiates emotional honesty.

TV Guide Magazine -
But there's a vaguely self-congratulatory tone to the screenplay that's a bit off-putting.
