Freedomland Ratings & Reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
What saves Freedomland are the individual scenes and the interplay of people.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Freedomland, -- is a jittery, overwrought drama that does all it can to vanquish the fine performances lurking within it.
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 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.
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.
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 News
Tom Long
Situations that should have great emotional impact drag on into embarrassing shrillness; moments that are supposed to be heavy become leaden.
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.
CNN.com
Owen Gleiberman
The complication in Freedomland arises out of Brenda's hysteria, which is so extreme that we doubt her story even before we've bought into it, and from the movie's dogged, booby-trapped demonstration of the sins of racism.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
First-rate actors bail out second-rate directors all the time, and Freedomland serves as the latest example.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Freedomland, an overblown urban crime drama that should be a lot better than it is.
Zap2it.com
Daniel Fienberg
Freedomland sacrifices pace and emotional momentum in favor of long, stagy sequences in which the principals recite lengthy speeches.
