    I.E. Weekly

    Despite its transparent manipulations, the film is more decent than it deserves to be, particularly when the kids step up to the podium and get passionate

    Christian Science Monitor
    January 03, 2008

    The Great Debaters succeeds in bringing a lump to the throat without, as is de rigueur these days, insulting our intelligence.

    St. Louis Post-Dispatch
    December 28, 2007

    The Great Debaters is well-acted, deeply felt and delivers a positive message about the importance of education.

    TIME Magazine
    December 28, 2007

    The film may be manipulative in its construction, and cliché-ridden in some of the incidents it recounts, but it has a good, large heart.

    ...The Great Debaters soars with words and feeling.

    Washington directed as well as starred, and it is clear he has no trouble wearing both hats at once

    This is a wonderfully acted and directed movie, that has something important to say

    I was having mediocre day and I walked out of the movie totally pumped up and ready for the rest of the day, even though it was 10pm at night.

    There's a real organic sense in the film of how young minds can be nurtured and energized way beyond sex, sports and slacker attitude, into caring and evolving kid works-in-progress. And how debating can be pretty cool too, who knew?

    Laramie Movie Scope

    The acting is great and care is taken to develop these characters into people we can root for.

    Las Vegas CityLife

    Enough fictional liberties were taken with The Great Debaters to make it fit neatly on the inspirational genre shelf, but it's grounded in enough reality to excuse Eisle's we-shall-overcome contrivances
