Critic Reviews of "Beloved"
Minneapolis Star TribuneNovember 06, 2002A movie that requires the viewer to meet it halfway. Those willing to make the effort will be rewarded with an exquisitely photographed and intricately layered drama.
San Francisco ChronicleJune 18, 2002Something rare: a brave film about the emotional toll of slavery, the anguish of memory and the cruel divisions that still sear African American lives.
Globe and MailApril 12, 2002Demme's potent adaptation of Morrison's novel may be substantial, but it is also engrossing.
Rolling StoneMay 11, 2001A knot of fierce emotions that is left for the viewer to untangle. Make the effort.
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 14, 2001Once this film gets its bearings, the unsentimental fierceness of its vision brushes obstacles and quibbles from its path.
Mr. ShowbizJanuary 01, 2000An overlong misfire that has only flashes of staggering power.
Jam! MoviesFebruary 27, 2004Okay, great performances, nice to look at -- but what this movie is missing is something to hold it together in the middle.
Slant MagazineFebruary 03, 2004Filled with some of the most extraordinary images of recent years, Beloved was apparently too powerful for audiences to handle back in 1998.
Cincinnati EnquirerOctober 15, 2002It is sure to be studied, debated and cherished decades from now when Americans look to film for insights on who we are and where we have been.
Combustible CelluloidOctober 11, 2002Demme masterfully exhibits both the harsh realities of the time with the unexplainable mystical world that settles in and around them like a fog, even if he has trouble making the two elements mesh.
Spirituality and PracticeAugust 21, 2002Its spiritual messages, which are deep and true, redeem any structural flaws of this ambitious film.
Entertainment InsidersJune 21, 2002a demanding, unsettling picture full of savage violence and deep-seated misery. Even when Sethe finds comfort in the arms of old friend Paul D ...the sight of their broken, scarred bodies coming together is heartbreaking rather than erotic.
