Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey
A deceptively simple movie with a deeply felt message.
83
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold
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.
80
L.A. Weekly - Ernest Hardy
The film offers an impressive melding of quietly radical images and ideas with, yes, an old-fashioned, crowd-pleasing holiday tearjerker.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
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.
60
TV Guide Magazine - Steve Simels
But there's a vaguely self-congratulatory tone to the screenplay that's a bit off-putting.
