Critic Reviews of "The Great Debaters"
I.E. WeeklyJanuary 29, 2008Despite 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 MonitorJanuary 03, 2008The Great Debaters succeeds in bringing a lump to the throat without, as is de rigueur these days, insulting our intelligence.
St. Louis Post-DispatchDecember 28, 2007The Great Debaters is well-acted, deeply felt and delivers a positive message about the importance of education.
TIME MagazineDecember 28, 2007The film may be manipulative in its construction, and cliché-ridden in some of the incidents it recounts, but it has a good, large heart.
ReelzChannel.comSeptember 08, 2008Washington directed as well as starred, and it is clear he has no trouble wearing both hats at once
Sin MagazineAugust 22, 2008This is a wonderfully acted and directed movie, that has something important to say
WJFK-FM (CBS Radio)June 01, 2008I 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.
NewsBlazeMay 02, 2008There'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 ScopeApril 10, 2008The acting is great and care is taken to develop these characters into people we can root for.
Las Vegas CityLifeMarch 17, 2008Enough 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
