John Lewis: Good Trouble Ratings & Reviews
indieWire
Eric Kohn
Despite its timeliness, "Good Trouble" could have used a final chapter to make it clear that even this dogged legend can't escape the boundaries of mortal life.
AV Club
Vikram Murthi
The result is an uneven paean to a man who deserves a more complicated portrait.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Lewis is such a towering figure in American history, and American politics, that any tribute to him is a worthy one.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
Perhaps the most striking aspect of the film is how prophetic it is. Although it doesn't offer any reflection on the current moment, it also won't come as a surprise how we got here.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Engaging portrait of the Civil Rights icon.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
An intimate homage to both the legend and the man, as spry and lively as Lewis himself.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Good Trouble" couldn't be more timely. Yet it feels strangely incomplete, and finds Lewis, 80, looking back over his life even as there's still important work being done.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
"John Lewis: Good Trouble" isn't a great film, but it has a great subject - and excellent timing.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
I didn't realize just how much I needed director Dawn Porter's latest documentary John Lewis: Good Trouble until it was over.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Director Porter has done an excellent job assembling archival footage and interviews to tell Lewis' story; she has the markings of a great storyteller.
Slant Magazine
Mark Jenkins
The film is well-outfitted with telling, thematically rich shards of historical information.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Amy Nicholson
A great movie to watch now and see how a struggle gets conducted.
Salon.com
Priscilla Ward
There's a lot to glean from the battleground Lewis has stood on for six decades while demanding fairness, a hope, and dream, of every American. Good Trouble is of importance now more than ever.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Despite the documentary's uneven aspects, his legacy is ample motivation for any student of history to see Good Trouble as a good investment.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Although the film uses a conventional format, it makes an urgent argument: that a new wave of voter suppression has threatened the rights that Lewis labored to secure.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Good Trouble shows that Lewis has never lost sight of the principles that are essential to his country's survival and well-being.
Variety
Tomris Laffly
[A] detailed yet paint-by-numbers study of the living legend who believes in the necessity of making good trouble as an instigator of societal change.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
The film is both a tribute and a warning - it's part John Lewis' greatest hits and part civics lesson about today.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Lewis is as much a hero as he is a shaman. If activists and concerned citizens listen to his life story and sage advice they may find new ways to navigate through these turbulent times when hope and strategy is more vital than ever before.
The Hollywood Reporter
Beandrea July
The sheer volume of archival footage and black and white stills in John Lewis: Good Trouble, combined with interviews from some of Lewis' past and present colleagues, has a powerful visual effect.
