Reviews


100
San Francisco Chronicle - Edward Guthmann
Doesn't sanitize its tale of African American loss and survival -- the way Steven Spielberg's “The Color Purple'' did -- but delves deeply, heartbreakingly into an American tragedy.
90
Chicago Reader - Lisa Alspector
This terrifyingly beautiful movie blends metaphor and stark social commentary to achieve a spontaneous grace.
88
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Liam Lacey
Jonathan Demme's potent adaptation of Morrison's novel may be substantial, but it is also engrossing, a movie that plays at times like a combination of “Gone With The Wind” and “The Exorcist.”
70
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
Beloved is ungainly and hard to follow at times, like the proverbial giant not quite sure how to best use its strength. But that power exists, present and undeniable, and once this film gets its bearings, the unsentimental fierceness of its vision brushes obstacles and quibbles from its path.
58
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
Winfrey's performance is full of stoic anger, and individual moments have ferocity and pull, yet you're always aware of them as moments.
