Dolores Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Her social activism often left her children, some of whom are interviewed, in the lurch. It's a contradiction the film could have more sharply explored.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
Huerta is such a commanding figure, and the array of historical footage marshalled on behalf of her story is so impressive, that the film makes a strong impression.
Washington Post
Lora Grady
"Dolores" is a fascinating corrective to 50-plus years of American history. It's educational, to be sure, but also exhilarating, inspiring and deeply emotional.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Bratt and his collaborators clearly admire their subject, while recognizing that the struggles and some possible contradictions don't make her a weaker leader.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
[Peter Bratt] deftly edits together archival footage and interviews with Huerta's children, co-workers, collaborators, and Huerta herself. He backs it with a jazz and salsa soundtrack and tells the story with zest and clarity.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
What's clear is that after watching Dolores, this woman becomes an unforgettable figure in the annals of Mexican-American history...
Slant Magazine
Peter Goldberg
Peter Bratt's documentary sharply trumpets Dolores Huerta's life and centrality in the turbulent history of social justice since the '60s.
Village Voice
April Wolfe
With Dolores, we're getting the lesson we deserve.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Hagiographic but still lively and informative, this documentary by Peter Bratt shines a spotlight on a historic, relatively overlooked figure...
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"Dolores" is a documentary that celebrates a hero, but it's no hagiography. Its subject wouldn't stand for that.
New York Times
Ken Jaworowski
As a girl, she says, she had wanted to be a dancer. In some way you can see that in her work: She has made activism an art form.
Village Voice
Daphne Howland
Bratt masterfully corrects the record ... revealing a charismatic, complicated woman who persevered - despite the disruption to her family and swirling disapproval of her personal life.
TheWrap
Claudia Puig
With any luck, Dolores will move the needle, enlightening viewers about the formidable Huerta and raising awareness of her rightful place in civil rights history.
Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
Bratt fleshes her out in fullest political and social dimension, but also captures her personal life and driven personality.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
"Dolores" crams a great deal of information, themes, and diverse archival materials into a sharp, cogent whole ...
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Seem[s] fairly formulaic with its linear narrative and mixture of talking heads with archive footage, but it is significant both in raising the profile of a woman too long overlooked and crucially in giving her back control over her own story.
The Patriot Ledger
Al Alexander
If you've never heard of Dolores Huerta, it's because there's been a concerted effort to erase her from the history books, a racially motivated slight the fascinating documentary "Dolores" determinedly seeks to correct.
Film Inquiry
Emily Wheeler
Dolores is only interested in getting the activist recognition, and it serves as an entertaining overview of the staggering things Huerta has accomplished.
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
This documentary about pioneering activist and union organizer Dolores Huerta tells an all-too-familiar story of a vastly talented woman who achieved greatness, only to be finally kicked aside and forgotten by men in power, because she is a woman.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Josh Terry
Dolores is ultimately straightforward, insightful and should be credited for presenting a broad look at a woman many find heroic, and others find polarizing.
