As a teacher I found Freedom Writers to be an inspirational reminder of why I chose this profession. I have read a few negative comments from the... itics. I would challenge those educated critics to have the courage to walk into the environment that Erin Gruwell mastered so beautifully. Erin is a true heroine whose spirit continues to make a difference in our world! Elaine Green Full Review

Overall Freedom Writers is a noble effort. At a time when New Year's resolutions to change already are falling by the wayside, you can't help but be moved by a group of young people who followed through on their resolve.Full Review

Though the film seldom strays from formula, there's something strangely moving about Swank's conviction that, in spite of everything, people are really good at heart.Full Review
