Freedomland Reviews
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Freedomland, -- is a jittery, overwrought drama that does all it can to vanquish the fine performances lurking within it.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
What saves Freedomland are the individual scenes and the interplay of people.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The thing that makes Freedomland riveting is the way in which its tale of human tragedy unfolds.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Freedomland is the kind of dispiriting February botch that makes you wonder if mainstream Hollywood would be better off abandoning serious subjects to the world of specialized film.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Freedomland is so well-acted, so poignantly written, that you can almost forget its excesses and shortcomings and embrace it for what it is -- a serious writer's exploration of racism, cop mob mentality and the mechanics of guilt.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Freedomland, the movie, doesn't flow at all. Joe Roth, who as a director makes an excellent producer, tries hard and you can see the effort throughout.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
The film is dark and claustrophobic, and so confined in its location as to seem more like an adaptation of a play than a novel.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
This film just can't escape the feeling that it's loitering in an emergency zone.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
Unfortunately, what the film is emblematic of is the Hollywood's utter detachment from the real world and actual current events.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The firm, steady presence of Karen Collucci (Falco), a leader of a volunteer group that looks for lost children gives a glimpse of what an interesting movie this could have been if it had not faltered under director Joe Roth's self-conscious ambitions.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
The compression renders Freedomland as a slight, not entirely engaging mystery with slight overtones about the dangers of racial profiling.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Moviemakers who exploit the suffering and death of children to ratchet up the dramatic stakes belong in the innermost circle of hell, but Freedomland -- clumsy and overwrought as it is -- earns the right to its harrowing trajectory.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
What begins as a familiar kind of media-circus melodrama ends up being something much more complex and tangled.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
A sometimes heavy-handed urban drama punctuated by some devastatingly effective scenes.
Village Voice
Robert Wilonsky
The performances all around are lousy -- histrionic and turgid, a most lethal combination.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Situations that should have great emotional impact drag on into embarrassing shrillness; moments that are supposed to be heavy become leaden.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
Like too many recent movies, Freedomland doesn't know how or when to end, but it has some emotional impact, and it's not shy about dealing with race in volatile ways.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
It tries hard and means well. And I couldn't hardly wait for it to end. Freedomland falls short as entertainment.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Freedomland is not an opportunity denied, just squandered.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Freedomland entertains with smarts, reminding us that the resolution of one mystery doesn't necessarily snuff out the fuse it ignited.
