Critic Reviews of "Conrack"
TIME MagazineAugust 27, 2013The spirit behind Conrack is so relentlessly idealistic in tone and uplifting in intent that one feels vaguely guilty for not responding to the film generously and forgivingly.
VarietyJanuary 14, 2008Few will totally resist the surefire appeal of this latest variation on Pygmalion mythology.
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006The potentially dubious aspects of the subject are mostly exorcised, in part by a strong script (adapted from the book by real-life teacher Pat Conroy), but largely by the engaging and persuasive performance Ritt draws from Voight.
New York TimesMay 09, 2005Despite Mr. Voight's skill, the teacher's character never jells.
Radio TimesAugust 27, 2013Martin Ritt's movie is often sentimental and hectoring, ramming home the contrast between Voight's comfy, secure rebellion against the Vietnam War and the utter destitution and backwardness of his pupils.
TV GuideJanuary 14, 2008As a former Group Theatre actor, [Ritt] understands the problems of actors and has been able to elicit outstanding performances from people one would not expect depth from.
Spirituality and PracticeJanuary 18, 2004An unusually human movie that ought to be talked about by everyone concerned with the real meaning of education, communication, and a full rich vision of life
