A Lion Is in the Streets Ratings & Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
With its central character a boorish politician who convinces the riffraff to pick up arms in an attempt to overthrow U.S. democracy, no one can accuse this of not maintaining a sliver of contemporary currency. Beyond that, there's not much to recommend.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The movie offers, amid its hectic and rowdy melodrama, a constant and underlying vision of the crucial power of government to serve the public good-and the ease with which that power can, almost invisibly, be shifted...
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Uneven but often powerful look at poor people in revolt.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
