Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 24 Mar 2010

Steer clear of Freedomland, the movie. Your time would be better spent reading Richard Price's much more compelling 1998 novel…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for The New York Times (9,847) on 04 Dec 2009

An early candidate for worst film of the year is Freedomland, an inept, lethally dull drama…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Carina Chocano (358) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 01 Dec 2009

Anyone who has seen the trailers for Freedomland, which don't exactly skimp on maternal angst, already knows this is going to be a sad-mommy…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 03 Sep 2009

Moore doesn't just act…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Steven Rea (1,872) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 11 Aug 2009

This tale of a white mother's kid gone missing in a black New Jersey neighborhood - and the tensions and news media attention that ensue -…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 13 Feb 2008

As an excuse to examine urban malaise at novel length, this premise works; as a film drama, it feels both overlong and sketchy…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Ella Taylor (978) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 20 Jan 2008

Ordinarily it's kind of hard to screw up a Richard Price story, but the writer is his own worst enemy here, with a screenplay so filled with…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Ann Hornaday (1,919) for Washington Post (9,851) on 19 Jan 2008

This would have made a fascinating film if Freedomland were one movie. Instead, it turns into several movies, none fully realized…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 18 Jan 2008

Individual scenes feel authentic, but the story tries to build bridges between loose ends…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Robert Wilonsky (520) for Dallas Observer (1,128) on 06 Nov 2007

Freedomland manages a seemingly impossible feat: It's both turgid AND overwrought, eliciting the shriek that fades into a yawn without anyone…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 14 Sep 2007

Its focus--the children--are not even onscreen very much. But their ghosts are everywhere, and the pain of the film is primal…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 27 May 2007

Strong acting is one of the film's hallmarks. It has been a while since Samuel L. Jackson has given a performance with this much intensity…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Jamie Gillies (84) for Apollo Guide (1,430) on 18 Apr 2007

Clunky, disjointed and with a couple of subplots that linger and then vanish…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Lou Lumenick (2,103) for New York Post (6,650) on 16 Apr 2007

With Roth at the helm of a script attributed to Price, there is minimal suspense, audience involvement or coherent social commentary…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Lewis Beale (134) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 01 Mar 2007

A compelling, beautifully written and impossible-to-put-down book has been turned into a mediocre film that seems self-important and listless…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Pete Vonder Haar (745) for Film Threat (5,156) on 27 Jan 2007

What, a white woman can’t take an innocent drive through the ghetto without arousing suspicion? What’s this world coming to…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Rene Rodriguez (1,781) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 27 Dec 2006

A slight, not entirely engaging mystery with slight overtones about the dangers of racial profiling that, unlike Clockers, treats its urban-plight…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Michael A. Smith (689) for Nolan's Pop Culture Review (315) on 13 Dec 2006

As I sat there watching the final slow motion image of a young man framed against the flames of a burning refrigerator box I couldn't help…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Todd Hertz (75) for Christianity Today (953) on 10 Oct 2006

Not much of this is new territory, but it can be gripping at times…

Review of Freedomland (2006)

By Brian Lowry (913) for Variety (12,700) on 08 Sep 2006

Despite a few raw moments, pic feels like a Lifetime movie with a marquee cast…
