Captive Ratings & Reviews
Christianity Today
Alissa Wilkinson
Captive, to my chagrin, never finds its story -- that is, it never finds the meaning, the arc, the narrative that justifies its retelling.
Sacramento News & Review
Jim Lane
They let the story, both fascinating and inspiring, speak for itself, and leave the rest to Mara and Oyelowo, each of them perfectly cast.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Yawn.
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
The thin story has been stretched like Silly Putty to feature-film length and the result is utterly see-through in its sledgehammer moralizing.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Captive winds up building to a big nothing.
John Hanlon Reviews
John Hanlon
Strong performances from the two lead actors bring this true story to life in this captivating drama.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
A humane film that recognizes the powerful role faith can play when you don't know where to turn.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"Captive" remains frustratingly dull, and ultimately it becomes emotionally dishonest, trying to steer the audience into a direction of Christian awakening the feature hasn't earned.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
David Kaplan
"Captive" is simply proof that not all true life stories make for compelling entertainment at the movies.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
Though the film ends with a whimper instead of a bang, Oyelowo and Mara's riveting, embodied performances rise above the material.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Fagerholm
The problem, alas, is that Mara and Oyelowo are ultimately captive in a script that doesn't allow its characters to stretch outside their preordained boundaries.
The Playlist
Rodrigo Perez
There's so much to puzzle and ponder over with "Captive," a movie that could be mistaken as bold with its obdurate approach, but is actually shockingly flat.
TheWrap
James Rocchi
A Lifetime movie shoved into a cage and fattened with sermons and platitudes until it is ready to be served up cold and bland.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
What matters is two people who think they have lost everything and how just one of them chooses life, hope, and purpose.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
A credit-sequence television clip of Mr. Warren and the real Ms. Smith with Oprah Winfrey makes the entire movie feel like the strangest book infomercial in memory.
Variety
Geoff Berkshire
True crime and Christian filmmaking collide with more subtlety than either genre is typically known for in "Captive."
New York Post
Sara Stewart
For a story whose appeal hinges on the saving grace of getting a "purpose-driven life," this one's got remarkably little of it.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Smith deserves credit for keeping a cool head -- and for not succumbing to her addiction under stress -- but the strategy makes for a somewhat low-energy film.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
Oyelowo and Mara try to bring humanity and tension to the testimonial thriller of two lost souls finding their way together, but they only succeed in bursts, hampered by marketing copy masquerading as dialogue.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Oyelowo and Mara achieve terrific chemistry. Perhaps they'll work together again - in a better film.
