Critic Reviews of "American Violet"
Seattle TimesOctober 15, 2009While it may be about as subtle as a swinging sledgehammer, it does leave its mark.
San Francisco ChronicleMay 01, 2009American Violet dramatizes Kelly's case, and does so in a way that will leave audiences applauding in their seats -- and wondering how much of the film is true.
Christian Science MonitorMay 01, 2009Director Tim Disney and screenwriter Bill Haney lay out Dee's story with a minimum of fuss. They are smart enough to realize that the material is compelling all on its own.
Philadelphia InquirerMay 01, 2009A torn-from-the-headlines tale of institutional racism and injustice in the Lone Star State of not-so-long-ago, American Violet might not be subtle, but it's certainly powerful.
East Bay ExpressAugust 18, 2011Less a social-problem film than a drama of personal courage.
TheMovieReport.comAugust 31, 2009Nicole. Beharie. Remember the name, for if her stunning lead turn is any indication, huge things are in the future.
Washington TimesAugust 30, 2009[American Violet] is so compelling and intriguing that it's easy for the audience to forget they're being preached to.
Kansas City StarJuly 17, 2009Put on your outrage cap.
Times-PicayuneJuly 17, 2009It does almost everything well, from the direction to the performances. But it does nothing great, dragged down by an uninspired, and oddly uninspiring, script.
Entertainment SpectrumJuly 16, 2009Newcomer Beharie gives a polished performance that deserves awards consideration.
