Critic Reviews of "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks"
San Francisco ChronicleApril 25, 2017Henrietta Lacks achieved a kind of immortality after her death. But Skloot's book and, now, this gripping film adaptation will ensure that the world knows who she was.
The AtlanticApril 24, 2017Winfrey's humane and riveting performance may make this adaptation worth a watch.
Chicago Sun-TimesApril 21, 2017The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is a good movie with a great performance.
New York Magazine/VultureApril 21, 2017Winfrey delivers a performance that's on another level. It can be challenging, even when she's convincing in a film or on a series, to forget that we're watching Oprah. But as Deborah Lacks... Oprah Winfrey completely disappears.
Uncle BarkyApril 21, 2017Ninety minutes on the origins of the so-called HeLa cell line sound about as dramatically inviting as a teeth-cleaning. But Winfrey's performance, as Henrietta's tormented youngest daughter, Deborah, is jump-off-the-screen terrific.
Daily Telegraph (UK)June 13, 2017As a portrait of unlikely female friendship and impassioned campaigning it did justice to little-known heroine Lacks.
GuardianJune 13, 2017If the film pushes Henrietta to the edges, it is at least to make room for a performance from Winfrey that tells us all there is to know about the damage that loss, lies and injustice can do to a child, to an adult, to a family and to a society.
Film InquiryMay 25, 2017The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks has a vision that is as richly loving as it is clear-eyed about the racist sins that continue to dog us as a culture and a nation.
TV InsiderApril 26, 2017Even if it sends you to the book to learn more, The Immortal Life will have done its job.
The Young FolksApril 24, 2017The idea behind The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks was honorable and no doubt brought a very powerful story to the surface, but it touched base without following through on many important aspects of her story.
