King In The Wilderness Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Barbara Shulgasser
Docu examines last years of MLK's life; language, violence.
Decider
Jade Budowski
By allowing us to hear what happened from the people closest to King, King in the Wilderness breaks new ground and paints a revealing, empathetic portrait in the process.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
That sense of doom runs through King in the Wilderness, but also a sense of calm that characterized King in his final days.
Vogue
Julia Felsenthal
King in the Wilderness presents an unfamiliar portrait of its subject...
RogerEbert.com
Arielle Bernstein
A quiet and understated film, which lingers lovingly on its subject.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Employs a simple and straightforward method to extraordinary effect.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An extraordinary documentary on the last 18 months of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's selfless and harrowing spiritual journey.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
It veers from the very public to the deeply personal, including heart-wrenching scenes of King's father collapsing with grief over his son's coffin.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
The movie humanizes King, in occasionally startling ways.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
The film's message remains timely, shaped by the voices and vivid recollections of King's intimate associates in the struggle for equality.
