A valuable film that shows the power of a forgotten history. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 16, 2018

The acting, like the storytelling, is quietly convincing.

You can't deny the inspirational qualities of the story or Parker's screen presence, any more than you could accuse the film of subtlety or of masking its conspicuous pro-Christian agenda.

If this were a 1970s 온라인카지노추천 movie, it probably would have won a boatload of Emmys. Now, it lacks impact, although parents or grandparents worried their children don't appreciate the sacrifices of decades past might want to use it as a teaching tool.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 22, 2010

If you can get past its moribund title, you'll still have a challenge in spotting the protagonist in this oddly washed-out depiction of a racial battle that raged in Oxford, North Carolina...

| Original Score: C- | Feb 20, 2010

I challenge anyone who sincerely believes that The Blind Side is a good film to take a look at this one and see how this kind of story is meant to be told.

Though it can't quite transcend its filmmaker's earnest intentions, this solemn history lesson offers several powerful moments.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 19, 2010

Along the way there are many fine, precisely observed moments showing what race relations were like in this little tobacco town at the turn of the decade.

What the film lacks in psychological nuance it makes up for in unassuming, intimate social observation.

Has some wrenching moments, but generally offers the melodrama and unremarkable performances of a 온라인카지노추천 movie.

The story is well-told and well worth telling.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 19, 2010

Beautifully shot and well-acted, if earnest, overlong and unfocused.

Compelling moments abound, but they're conveyed in such a faithful, grounded manner that the cinematic appeal is lost.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 19, 2010

The civil rights movement, like the Civil War, is best known for its great battles and great leaders. But there were smaller skirmishes, just as important, and Blood Done Sign My Name tells the story of one.

| Original Score: B | Feb 19, 2010

The movie punches up the kinds of scenes you've seen done better 100 other times -- church sermons, a sham trial, a Klan meeting.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 19, 2010

Its intended audience is anyone with enough heart to be horrified by the events it depicts, but also with enough plausible deniability to point the finger of blame at someone else. It's a movie you can feel good about feeling bad about.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 19, 2010

A sturdy and sensitive drama about the Civil Rights movement in Oxford, North Carolina, in 1970; it rings true and reveals the scourge of American racism in all of its ugly manifestations.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 18, 2010

Blood Done Sign My Name may not be great cinema, but it nonetheless deserves attention.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 18, 2010

In spite of the material's regional origins, Stuart's movie still feels like a Hollywood vision of the rural South, less syrupy than some but no less vague.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 18, 2010

Slides into unexceptional melodrama, as the films two threads distract from, rather than reinforce, each other.
