Critic Reviews

Transcends its star's controversial career and, in the bargain, stands head, shoulders and heart above every other Hollywood movie that we've seen so far this year.Full Review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

Movie stars radiate a power -- physical, erotic, spiritual -- that draws an audience into their orbit. Yet watching Curtis Hanson's gritty and electrifying 8 Mile, the first thing you notice about Eminem, the most scaldingly powerful artist in pop music today, is how vulnerable he looks.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

The film's absolute conviction keeps it from feeling formulaic.Full Review

Nathan Rabin
The Onion (A.V. Club)

The film is never more real than when Jimmy unloads his anger on someone close to him, a frequent occurrence. Eminem is an actor with a rare gift for rage, and movie careers, even big ones, have been built on less.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

The rough power, as well as the humor and sensitivity, of pop phenom Eminem is delivered intact in 8 Mile.Full Review
