there is one thing about "Long Walk to Freedom" that can't be denied: Idris Elba gives a towering performance, a Mandela for the ages
by Scott Foundas [Variety ]
still, the film is a useful look at important history, and in the second half it grows intriguingly tangled
by Kyle Smith [New York Post ]
but in those moments when Elba shows the doubts, compromises and complications that make the man, we get glimpses of a life truly lived
by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]
as a primer, it's respectable; as cinema, it feels like a biblical gospel, always gearing up for the next big speech or moment, yet shackled by the greatness of its subject
by Dave Calhoun [Time Out New York ]
a biopic that is more dutiful than illuminating
by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]
