Antwone Fisher has a confrontation with his past, and a speech to the mother who abandoned him, and a reunion with his family, that create great, heartbreaking, joyous moments.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Blessedly free of the self-righteous histrionics and sentimentality that so often cheapen powerful personal stories.Full Review

Ann Hornaday
Washington Post

An assured directorial debut that goes straight for the tear ducts.Full Review

Desson Thomson
Washington Post

The uniformly fine performances are a tribute to Washington, who plays the shrink with his customary command.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

Corny. But it's corny in a way that a Hollywood movie about a boy who just wants to go home ought to be corny. Plus when it's done with this much care, corny works for me.Full Review
