Critic Reviews

It's cleansing to see the facts laid out with intimacy and rigor, and the film earns the comparison it makes to the squelching of due process for some of today's terror suspects.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

Does a superb job of condensing an overwhelming mass of documentation, archival imagery and artistic representation into a concise yet passionate history lesson whose relevance could not be timelier.Full Review

Ronnie Scheib
Variety

The effect is informative and moving, even if the film has an attack of the gooeys at the end.Full Review

New York Post

One of the movie's most moving elements is the duo's famous prison correspondence, as eloquently read by Tony Shalhoub as Sacco and John Turturro as Vanzetti. But Miller's obvious passion and dedication shine throughout.Full Review

Michael Wilmington
Chicago Tribune

The movie's meat-and-potatoes style seems less a failure of imagination than a means of putting in the foreground its intriguing subject matter.Full Review
